A metal gig in New Zealand is the latest show to be victimized by an unwelcome turd.<\/p>\n<p>Following similar incidents at <a href=\"https:\/\/consequence.net\/2026\/06\/noah-kahan-bathroom-philly\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a Noah Kahan show<\/a> and a <a href=\"https:\/\/consequence.net\/2026\/06\/5-seconds-of-summer-bathroom-incident\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">5 Seconds of Summer gig<\/a> earlier this year, the band Devilskin had to put a stop to their concert in New Zealand on Saturday night when a stink filled up the venue.<\/p>\n<p>As it turns out, not only did someone poop their pants, but the person let the turd roll down to the floor in the middle of the pit. Disgusted fans called attention to it, forming a ring around the offending fecal matter, leading Devilskin singer Jennie Skulander to pause the show, and ask, \u201cIs someone sick?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When informed that it was a piece of poop, the vocalist exclaimed, \u201cPoo? Ew!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One eyewitness told New Zealand outlet <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stuff.co.nz\/nz-news\/361011531\/turd-er-dancefloor-heavy-metal-gig-halted-emergency-defecation-situation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Stuff<\/a><\/em>, \u201cThe guy who was directly in front of me proceeded to shake a log down his leg\u2026 We shuffled to the side a meter or three, then I realized that I needed to alert security. One guard came over, and verified with me the culprit and saw the offensive material on the floor.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Related Video<\/p>\n<p>Apparently, the odor caused other concertgoers to throw up, with another eyewitness saying, \u201cI think the smell triggered lots of people to then vomit. The smell obviously hit them and then people started spewing in response to that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Authorities were called, but no arrests were made. As it turns out, the offending person had an \u201cunfortunate medical incident.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"free-body\">\n<div class=\"font-stuff-sans text-2 leading-4 font-4\" data-testid=\"body-paragraph\">\n<p class=\"\">\u201cThe individual involved remained fully clothed throughout, and this was in no way a deliberate \u2018code brown\u2019 situation,\u201d said Daniel Leamy, the president of the Otago University Students\u2019 Association, which operates the venue. \u201cThey were willingly escorted from the venue by security once staff had assessed the best course of action.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Devilskin have since made light of the event, offering a \u201cDiaper of Doom\u201d on their social pages, with the description, \u201cAfter some unique feedback, we\u2019ve taken it upon ourselves to provide Devilskin fans with the ultimate companion for your Be Like The River 10th Anniversary Tour experience!
