A gig by New Zealand metal band Devilskin has gone viral for reportedly being ruined by “a huge mess of shit, just completely spread all in the mosh pit.”
The Otago Daily Times reported that the incident started when a middle-aged concertgoer “shook a log” from their trousers as Devilskin ccontinued their 10th anniversary tour for their NZ chart-topping album ‘Be The River’ at the University of Otago’s Union Hall on Saturday (July 25).
One concert goer said: “It was huge, like, massive. I haven’t seen one that big before, I thought it was some guy’s shoe, it was so big. It was unbelievable,” before adding: “There was a lot of jumping. And then eventually someone must have looked down and noticed that there was just a huge mess of shit, just completely spread all in the mosh pit, all over the floor.”
They continued: “It’s on people’s feet. People are wearing skirts and shit is up their legs and stuff, and then one girl went bleh, just vomited on the shit, and then everyone else starts vomiting.”
Doug Stewart, bassist from opening band Pieces Of Molly, also told Metal Hammer : “It was like a scene from a B-grade horror movie. This strong aroma wafted over the audience; the crowd parted like Moses parting the Brown Sea.”
He added: “Word quickly spread through the crowd as everyone realised what it was. It was at that point I started to see people throw up on the pit deuce. The other boys were in the green room, and that’s when I decided to make a quick exit myself to take advantage of said green room and free beers.”
The concert was said to have resumed and police tracked down the culprit but he was not charged with any offence.
It comes following a series of incidents at concerts featuring high profile artists including Noah Kahan and Olivia Rodrigo .
Last week. the former called for Congress to get involved and force his fans to wear diapers to gigs, after people defecated on the floors of his shows .
Last month, Olivia Rodrigo also spoke out about instances at her show, saying that she had “smelled” hardcore fans who wore diapers in the front row .
An investigation was also launched after a Morgan Wallen fan allegedly urinated on a family of four, refusing to leave a recent show for a moment to go to the toilet mid-set.
