Michigan-based metal outfit We Came As Romans—promoting its latest album Darkbloom—had to cancel its headlining slot at a gig at Providence, Rhode Island’s Fete Music Hall last weekend.

During one of the opening sets, the venue’s security team decided to not only aggressively escort a few fans out for moshing and crowd surfing—two practices approved and encouraged by We Came As Romans in a security meeting that day—but when the band’s touring crew came outside the venue to calm both parties down, security at Fete ended up spitting in crew members’ faces, on gear, and even threatened physical violence.

Hopefully, security personnel at Jannus Live will pay close attention at whatever pre-show meetings go down Wednesday night.

Tickets to see We Came As Romans, Emmure, Bodysnatcher, and Archetypes Collide play St. Pete’s Jannus Live on Wednesday, Nov. 1 are still available and cost $25.50.
