Male gig-goers attending a gig by The Last Dinner Party reported being 'interrogated' by security
A music venue has been forced to issue an apology after male gig-goers at a planned show from The Last Dinner Party were faced with ‘scrutiny’ from security.
Taking to social media, many male attendees at the Lincoln show reported being ‘whisked away and searched’ by security staff and questioned about whether they were a fan of the band or not - some fans also claimed they were asked to recite their favourite song. In another post, which has since been made private on social platform X, another person said they were “funnelled into a dark corner with other men, told I might be a pervert cus I’m alone and then taken into a room alone with a security guard where I was interrogated and searched. Feel sick.”
The venue said: “We pride ourselves and are committed to operating a safe, secure, inclusive and welcoming venue for all our guests. We are aware of reports on social media that the entry procedure utilised at The Last Dinner Party on September 28 fell short of our venue entry policy, which requires all attendees to be treated equally and subject to the same entry requirements.”
“Although this policy was changed with the right intentions, it is clear that this change resulted in the treatment of some guests, which was not acceptable, and The Engine Shed would like to fully apologise to anyone affected.
