The Snuts have called out the behavior of a number of their male fans after they had to pause a recent show in Oxford. The indie band played a gig at the O2 Academy in the city last night (November 7), and took to social media after the show to reveal that they stopped the show halfway through due to the behaviour of certain fans.
Following the show, the Scottish band explained the reason for the pause in the show with a statement on their social media: “Apologies to everyone for stopping tonight’s show, We are absolutely furious to learn about the behaviour of male fans at our show in Oxford.”
“This is a male problem and it is only the responsibility of males to stamp it out. No one should ever feel unsafe at our gigs and it’s your responsibility to report and call out your friends if they are acting like fucking animals.”
They then added: “We are not your fucking lad band and you don’t get [to] act like that at our shows.”

No video footage has emerged online of said incidents, but people have posted tweets complaining about the behavior of some of the male fans. One attendee wrote in a tweet after the show “The crowd and the Snuts deserved better than a load of Oxford students trying to grope girls at their show. Fucking joke. We’ve waited months to have this ruined by some posh boys that want shoeing.”

The band will be continuing their UK tour tonight (November 8) in Norwich at the Waterfront and runs until the end of the month, where they play a final gig at the Ritz in Manchester. The band as I’m sure most fans are will be hoping for no further repeat of the events in Oxford.
