This past weekend, country music fans were left shocked when singer Dylan Marlowe was suddenly escorted out of the Country Jam festival in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. The unexpected moment, caught on camera, went viral across social media, leaving people wondering what really happened.
According to Marlowe, he and a friend were watching fellow country star Jake Owen's set from a front-of-house tower, as they had been given All Access wristbands by their tour manager. However, a security guard told them they couldn't be in that area, despite the credentials. Trying to avoid a scene, Marlowe and his friend moved to another spot, but the same guard approached them again, this time with police officers. The officers said the security guard was their "boss" and they had to leave.
In a video Marlowe posted on Sunday, he admitted the situation got tense, and he wasn't proud of how he reacted. "I'm not going to paint it like I was this perfectly great dude who wasn't rude back to him after he was rude to me," Marlowe said. While he felt unfairly treated, the country singer acknowledged he could have handled things better. Ultimately, Marlowe just wanted to enjoy the rest of the festival like any other fan.
