Make a cup of tea and get your glasses ONTD, this is a read.<\/p>\n
British band The Last Dinner Party, who released their debut album this year including hit Nothing Matters<\/i> have come under fire over the past few days after a security issue at a recent show in Lincolnshire.
In the queue, a number of individual men (who were alone or older) were allegedly pulled in by security, searched, and asked a number of interrogating questions before they were allowed to go in, despite being ticket holders.
A tweet from an account which is now private stated that he had been taken into a room, told he might be a pervert, and searched<\/b>. Another alleged that he was asked to prove his favourite songs and how long he had liked the band<\/b>.
Following this, the show was cancelled minutes before its start time, after a member of the band suddenly fell ill.<\/b> <\/p>\nThe venue has since issued an apology and stated that they have started an investigation and that so far, what they understand is that an ‘ad-hoc’ change in practice happened after receiving information about behaviour at previous TLDP gigs.<\/b>
Other tweets state the atmosphere of the night was unusual and uncomfortable.<\/p>\nThe band have since responded to the incident and the venue’s apology:<\/p>\n

The band state that the security policies were implemented by the venue only and re-stated that the cancellation was due to health issues.<\/p>\n
A follow-up tweet published within the hour was issued, cancelling their upcoming tour dates due to illness:<\/p>\n
