Chris Fronzak Says Attila Are Still Banned From Playing Nevada & Australia Is Too "Woke" To Tour In

Attila vocalist Chris Fronzak has addressed his band’s continued absence from the state of Nevada. The metalcore crew last took to the stage in that state back on August 22nd,. 2018 at the Hard Rock Live in Las Vegas, NV. That infamous show turned ugly, when several members of the band assaulted venue security. The band claimed to have acted out in response to security getting rough with members of the audience during their set, as referenced in a recent post on X recently by Fronzak himself.

The incident mentioned above resulted in the band being sued by the collective of security guards. A day after that show, Fronzak said of the incident on social media, “Man I wish y’all could see everything I saw from my point of view. Of course the videos only show me after I fucking snapped. The videos don’t show these abusive motherfuckers that were choking my fans and powerslamming them into the concrete….”

The suit in question went on to accuse Fronzak, guitarist Christopher Linck and bassist Kalan Blehm of, “lunging after, punching, attacking, kicking, throwing objects at, and/or striking” the security guards working the show during their performance. It is not widely known who won that suit, but it would appear that the incident has had lasting repercussions on the band .

According to a post on X made this weekend by Fronzak, the band remain barred from performing live in Nevada as a result:

Fronzak‘s response led another fan to ask about Attila‘s decade plus absence from the country of Australia, to which Fronzak replied:

Whether Fronzak was joking or not, Australia has had a recent history of so-called ‘woke’ backlash against select musicians, including Falling In Reverse vocalist Ronnie Radke, who drew condemnation from Australian city councilors while touring the country this past March.
