West Lothian band The Snuts stop show and call out fans behaving like "animals"

West Lothian band The Snuts have apologised to fans after they were forced to stop their Oxford gig due to behaviour of some male fans.

The band took to social media to say they took the decision to halt the show thanks to the behaviour of "male fans" who were making others feel "unsafe".

They called out those responsible for the incident and said that it was unacceptable to act like that at their gigs and that they would not tolerate it.

Posting on their Instagram, they wrote: "Apologies to everyone for stopping tonight's show. We are absolutely furious to learn about the behaviour of male fans at our show in Oxford.

"This is a male problem and it is only the responsibility of males to stamp it out. No one should ever feel unsafe at gigs and it's your responsibility to report and call out your friends if they are acting like animals.

They added: "you don't get to act like that at our shows."

Many fans took to social media to support then band.

One wrote: "I've no idea what happened but have huge respect for you as a band for calling this out and being categorical in saying that anyone who makes others feel unsafe is not the sort of fan you want."

Another said: ""Thank you for acknowledging this and for looking out for the safety of everyone. I've lost count of how many gigs I've experienced unacceptable behaviour from others, so posts and actions like this mean a lot!"
