Turnstile’s Brendan Yates ejects security guard from show for allegedly “swinging” at fan: “We won’t play

Turnstile’s frontman Brendan Yates briefly paused a recent gig to insist that a security guard be removed from the venue, after they allegedly took a “swing” at a fan in the audience.

The gig took place at The Criterion in Oklahoma City on Monday night (October 5), when the band took to the stage as part of their ongoing North America tour.

During the set, footage from fans in the crowd showed the frontman pausing the show mid-song, and jumping off the stage to confront a security guard. Videos then showed Yates pulling the member of staff away from someone in the audience, before repeating “you’re done” and explaining the situation to other members of security.

Bassist Franz Lyons also jumped down from the stage after the set was halted, going to see what the issue was.

A few moments later, the two bandmates returned to the stage to address the crowd and explain why they abruptly stopped the set – sharing that they allegedly saw the security take a “swing” at a concertgoer, and would not be continuing their set until that member of staff was removed from the gig.

A NME entrou em contato com o The Criterion para solicitar comentário sobre o incidente. Ainda não está claro se o membro de segurança foi fornecido pelo local ou por uma empresa externa.

The incident at the Oklahoma gig comes on the heels of the hardcore icons being confirmed for Primavera Sound 2027, and meeting Taylor Swift as they performed as the musical guest on Saturday Night Live.

Before then, they played at Austin City Limits in Texas, and it capped a huge period for the band following the release of ‘Never Enough’ in June last year. ‘Birds’ won Best Metal Performance at the Grammys in February, while ‘Never Enough’ took home Best Rock Album.

Em agosto, eles seguiram com ‘Never Enough: Versions’, uma reinterpretação completa do álbum com colaboradores como Elton John, Hayley Williams, Blood Orange, A.

G. Cook, Julien Baker, Four Tet and Slayyyter. Their US tour dates continue through to October 18, where they play a closing show in Santa Ana.
