Devilskin concert fecal incident NZ

Entities: Jo Hayes · Otago University Students’ Association · University of Otago Union Hall · Devilskin · Otago Daily Times

Overview

During Devilskin’s 10th‑anniversary tour, the July 25 show at the University of Otago’s Union Hall in Dunedin was interrupted when an audience member suffered a medical emergency and defecated in the mosh pit. The odor caused vomiting among fans and prompted the lead singer to pause the performance while security escorted the individual away.

Police identified the person but did not lay charges; the incident was treated as an accidental health issue rather than deliberate misconduct. The venue was briefly evacuated for cleaning, after which the band resumed the concert. In response, Devilskin introduced a humorous “Diaper of Doom” merchandise item, while an etiquette expert called for fines and bans for such behavior. The tour proceeded with dates in Tauranga, Hamilton, Palmerston North, Hastings, Auckland and Wellington, with no serious injuries reported.
