Punk Rock Principles: Sex Pistols Fan Ejected for Mosh Pit Disruption
16 Oct
Summary
- Singer Frank Carter removed a fan for disrupting a women-only mosh pit.
- Carter cited safety concerns for women in mosh pits as justification.
- The fan's father later apologized for his son's disrespectful behavior.
At a recent Sex Pistols concert in Denver, lead singer Frank Carter addressed a disruptive male fan who tried to enter a mosh pit designated for women. Carter voiced frustration from the stage, explaining that men entering these spaces can pose safety risks.
Carter emphasized that it was not the fan's lived experience to understand why such spaces are needed. He asked the fan to leave, drawing cheers from the crowd. Security then escorted the individual out of the venue.
Following the incident, Carter shared on social media that men offended by the creation of female-only mosh pits are part of the problem. He also posted a message from the fan's father, who apologized for his son's behavior and expressed disappointment.
The Sex Pistols, originally formed in 1975, are currently on tour with reformed members. This tour includes remaining North American dates and a series of shows in the United Kingdom later this year.
