If it is people buying tickets to a sell out show to be totally inappropriate with the audience- seems a lot of work. If its people (men) who were going anyway then get pissed or whatever then feel they can do whatever they want then this was doomed to fail anyway. And yes to a good idea in theory but what stops some other gig changing paramaters of who should be let in

Away from the headliner talk, which bands are people expecting to make an appearance for 2025? I have a feeling the likes of Papa Roach, Alien Ant Farm, Idles and Spiritbox will be in there. Maybe Weezer. -

My best guess is this: Creepy men have been inappropriate with the (very young) female audience members at TLDP shows in the past few weeks. TLDP/ management have had a word with security - saying to keep an eye on men, particularly if they're older and on their own. Maybe to even question men who look shady about whether they like the band, to name records etc. Overzealous and undertrained staff have taken this way too far and grouped together a bunch of men on their own and dealt with it in the least appropriate, least subtle way they could. edit: I've just read the NME article/ venue statement - yeah I'm pretty sure this is what's happened. "after information was provided to our security team about incidents at previous The Last Dinner Party gigs, the venue management team made an ad-hoc change to our policy" - TLDP management contacted them but then security have gone way overboard. It's not necessarily a bad idea in theory but has been handled terribly. Having a security guard smile and say "you excited to go in mate? What songs do you want to hear?" to make it sound like chit-chat was probably the intention, but something got cocked up along the way.
