Bring Me The Horizon were involved in an altercation during their set Sunday night in Helsinki, Finland, in which two band members physically attacked hecklers in the audience.
Footage below (skip to 4:00) shows guitarist Jona Weinhofen losing his temper, repeatedly punching a concertgoer after jumping in the crowd during the band’s November 6th performance at The Circus in Helsinki. Frontman Oliver Sykes also joined the brawl, allegedly hitting a crowd member numerous times with his microphone.
“If you don’t like our band, then fuck off!” Sykes screamed at the crowd. “If you’ve got a problem, come here,” he urged the hecklers to come on stage.
At 5:17 in the video, members of the crowd can be heard chanting “[We] hate your fucking band!”
It is reported that Weinhofen broke his hand during the fight.
The incident is the second onstage altercation with the band in the past two months. In October, hecklers rushed the stage at a Salt Lake City performance, resulting with Weinhofen hitting an attacker with the head of his guitar.
