Festival promoter AJ Maddah said on Twitter that the deathcore band told the audience "there are thousand of you and dozens of security. Smash them. All of you get on the stage."

A security guard told Music Feeds that the band also said “we wanna see someone put in hospital.”

In footage filmed at the concert, people rushed past security and onto the stage.

In a series of foul-mouthed Tweets, Mr Maddah took to Twitter to condemn the band for “risking the lives of my staff, the police, security and injuring your own fans. And destroying other bands’ equipment.”

The band was temporarily kicked off of the tour but after apologising, they will continue to perform with Soundwave.

The band later took to Facebook to apologise for their actions.
