This was my 4th time seeing Boston Manor. They were one of my favorite bands, along with Trash Boat.
It is not safe to attend these shows. They were encouraging violence and then complaining when people were getting hurt and it was interrupting their playing.
To be clear, going to a show should be a place where you can be free to dance, and enjoy yourself
When people start throwing punches and saying it is “hardcore dancing”, it becomes unsafe.
Several people were hurt during this show and the security team did nothing.
At this point, the band needs to step up and be involved. Trash Boat saw what was happening and who was responsible and complained and then encouraged the behavior.
Boston Manor, instead of discouraging the violence, encouraged it.
This is not how live music should be. If it is unsafe to go to a show, people will stop going. The band has the most influence.
