Last Dinner Party Concert Canceled After Security Incident

The Last Dinner Party cancelled their concert at The Engine Shed in Lincoln on September 28 due to a member falling ill, but the incident was overshadowed by complaints regarding the venue's security practices. Male fans reported being subjected to extensive questioning and searches upon arrival, with some feeling discriminated against for attending alone. The Engine Shed acknowledged these complaints and stated that the security measures were implemented in response to past incidents, but admitted the treatment of guests was unacceptable. They have since launched an investigation and promised further staff training on their entry policies. The band condemned the actions of the venue, clarifying that the security measures were not discussed with them and do not reflect their beliefs. Both the venue and the band have encouraged those affected to come forward with their experiences.
