Turnstile’s Brendan Yates Ejects Security Guard Who Apparently Took a Swing at Fan: Watch

Brendan Yates, the frontman of Turnstile, abruptly ended their show at The Criterion in Oklahoma City on Monday night, October 5th, after confronting a security guard who allegedly struck a fan. Footage shared on Reddit depicts Yates stopping the performance mid-song and descending to the floor to intervene. He is overheard instructing, "You're done, he's done," while lecturing the security guard about his actions.

Other band members, including Franz Lyons, also joined in to assess the situation. The video resumes later with Yates back on stage, addressing the crowd and acknowledging the presence of security personnel doing their jobs well. He made it clear that certain security guards were failing in their duties. Turnstile, who had recently performed on Saturday Night Live, proceeded with the show, delivering a 20-song set.

The band is currently on a North American tour, with their final show scheduled for October 18th in Santa Ana, California. Tickets for the remaining tour dates are available, with a promotional offer of $20 off for orders of $200 or more using the promo code COS20. Watch the confrontation between Yates and the security guard in the video provided below.
