Last week during a show at the Ridglea Theater in Forth Worth, Texas, a security guard felt the need to grab the mic and shout “I don’t think so!” before handing the mic back to Terror vocalist Scott Vogel. The story has since gone viral, being posted across social media, including our own Instagram thread, which brought out fans to call out the venue for past practices.
Vogel was passing around his microphone to the crowd (Not exactly smart with Covid-19 still being passed around) and egging on fans to rush the stage, and several non-aggressive concert goers were purportedly thrown over the barricade and injured severely.
It was also reported that No Cure and Mychildren Mybride were backing out of a show there, instead moving to a separate venue.
On May 8, in the Lambgoat site Instagram comment thread, things were stirring, as public responses from the Ridglea Theater President as well as the production company behind the event posted. Along with all the public comments, the site received a response from Ridglea Theater stating their policy:
“Ridglea Theater complex has a zerotolerance for
Stage diving
Kicking, punching, windmilling
Ejected
The people in the crowd were attempting to jump the barricades to get on the stage, only one ejection for kicking a minor in the front row.
Our security did a great job and exhibited a lot of restraint after being hit, punched by a very rowdy crowd.”
