Thy Art Is Murder were briefly kicked off this years Soundwave tour after encouraging the crowd to attack security during the tours Brisbane leg. According to NewFeeds the band told the crowd “There are thousand of you and dozens of security. Smash them. All of you get on the stage.” which saw up to 100 people rush towards the stage and led to the police almost cancelling the show.
Festival promoter AJ Maddah commented that they risked:
“the lives of my staff, the police, security and injuring your own fans”.
And commented that he was “really bummed” about the band’s behavior.
As news has followed the promoter has met with Thy Art Is Murder and they will be kept on the bill with Maddah tweeting “hopefully we’ll see a more considerate band on the tour”.
