The superstars on the cover of issue 380 for AltPress showed their willingness to go the extra mile for their fans, waiting outside the venue to personally greet fans arriving.
The show is cancelled due to someone behind a desk.
Our hearts are broken. We set up, we came all this way; you the fans sold it out.
Don’t know who held responsible but this is just ridiculous. We love you all, we are doing a free meet and greet/ acoustic show near the venue. https://t.co/DiMU91iuzd

They followed this up with an acoustic show outside of the venue but ended up elaborating that promoters requested they “tone down [their] performance,” asking Leith to avoid entering the crowd or balconies during the set.
In January 2019, two separate instances regarding Leith entering the crowd during the band’s U.K. run sparked venue backlash. The first was at Venue Cymru in North Wales where the promoter stopped the show for “safety reasons” immediately after Leith entered the crowd.
Just under two weeks later, Leith was reportedly tackled by security while performing at Ironworks in Inverness, Scotland. The frontman ended up entering the crowd with security physically removing him.
The band ended up requesting the “normal disclaimer” releasing the venue of responsibility for the band to perform the full scope of their show. After signing it and offering to allow the venue to hold their pay to ensure a safe environment, the band states their manager informed them that the venue had decided to cancel the gig with no further discussion.
The truth.
Glasgow our deepest apologies – the acoustic show was quite beautiful to say the least. pic.twitter.com/rbihwKXDiD
