Rockstar Kicks Out Security Guard Mid-Concert
8 Oct
Summary
- Frontman halted the show to remove a security guard.
- The guard allegedly became physical with a fan.
- This occurred just days after the band's SNL performance.
During a performance in Oklahoma City on Monday, October 5th, Turnstile frontman Brendan Yates paused the concert to address a security guard's conduct. Yates observed the guard allegedly becoming physical with a fan who had moved towards the stage barrier.
Yates descended from the stage and, using the microphone, informed the security guard that he was no longer welcome at the event. He stated the band would not resume playing until the guard had left the premises.
He addressed the audience, thanking them for their understanding and reaffirming the band's commitment to a safe and energetic concert experience. Yates noted that while most security personnel were doing their jobs well, one individual had overstepped. The band continued their performance after the situation was resolved.
This event occurred shortly after Turnstile's appearance on Saturday Night Live, where they performed selections from their June 2025 album, 'Never Enough.' The band, formed in Baltimore, Maryland, in 2010, has received multiple Grammy accolades, including wins in 2026.
