Dylan Marlowe took to social media about getting “kicked out” of a concert in which he was performing.
To be clear, he was performing at a music festival which included him in the lineup.
Marlowe, a country music singer, performed his set at Country Jam in Eau Claire, Wisconsin.
According to Marlowe, he was escorted out by a security guard while trying to watch Jake Owen’s show.
“Getting kicked out of a concert I just played,” Marlow said in a video he later deleted, per Parade. “Got kicked out of our concert trying to watch Jake Owen. Good job, dude. I’m a huge threat.”
Per the report, Marlowe was led through the festival crowd while security kept a tight grip on his shirt.
“I just want to hop on here and kinda clear the air a little bit of what I posted yesterday,” the 28-year-old singer stated in a second video posted to replace the deleted one. “I took the video down after sleeping on it and watching church this morning. I just decided that it wasn’t fair for that festival to have this video blowing up about their festival when it was really just one bad apple in the whole thing.”
Marlowe explained he had “All Access” and “Artist Credentials” passes and had been watching Jake (Owens) from the top of a tower at the front of the house when he and a friend were approached by security.
“This dude comes up and says we can’t be there,” Marlowe explained. “We were like, ‘Hey. We have ‘All Access’ wristbands given to our tour manager for us to wear to be anywhere we want to be. … So we had two different credentials. We’re like, ‘Hey. We have these. We’re good.’ He was like, ‘No. I don’t care.’”
Marlowe explained the security guard suggested they watch the show from the pit. Of course, the singer had just gotten done performing and didn’t want to draw attention to himself.
“The last thing I want to do is make a scene during Jake Owen’s set because that, to me, is disrespectful,” he said.
So, Marlowe and his friend moved to a different location and was told to move again by the same security guard. He added that they were both removed by police officers at the request of the security personnel.
“We walk downstairs to where this guy continues to say, ‘Hey, you gotta get the F out of here. You gotta get the F outta here. You’re not allowed to be down here either,”’ Marlowe said. “We had these passes, and we knew we were allowed to be there. These cops came up and I was like, ‘Oh God.’ So we talk to these cops and we’re like, ‘Hey guys. We had these passes. Not sure what the confusion is because we were told these are ‘All Access’ passes. We’re just trying to watch the set,’ to where the cops responded, ‘This security is our boss and he’s telling us to get ya’ll out of here.’”
Marlowe said that’s when he became “rude back to the guy.”
“I’m not going to paint it like I was this perfectly great dude who wasn’t rude back to him after he was rude to me,” Marlowe said. “After that, there were definitely a few heated words exchanged with that guy, nothing crazy, but I feel like he was rude to me and I was rude back to him, and I shouldn’t have been… so I just wanted to clear things up. That’s where he grabbed my shirt, yanked me out, just wanted to clear the air a little bit to say to the festival, there’s no hard feelings. We had a great time. To that dude, I forgive you. That’s pretty much all I have to say.”
