Whilst performing their set at the Turner Hall Ballroom in Milwaukee, Wisconsin last night (February 16th 2017), Georgia based outfit Attila were forced to cancel their set early due an altercation with security which ended up with the band engaging with them in a brawl.
It appears to start when a member of security engages with a fan in the crowd, when guitarist Chris Linck and vocalist Fronz get involved, assumingly due to feeling they were improperly handling the fan. Linck then shortly jumps into the crowd, and the brawl erupts shortly after.
The two members shortly return back to the stage, when Fronz shouts “fuck your security” into the mic, Linck slams down a mic stand, and the band collectively walk off the stage.

Following the show, the band tweeted about the events that transpired, explaining the situation further with their fans who were at the show that evening.
Milwaukee you guys are incredible. Sorry that the entire show ended with us fighting the security. We just care about you guys too much.

We will always stand up for our fans. If someone hurts you, we will jump off the stage & fight the shit out of them. Nobody hurts our fans.

Sorry you guys had to see us like that…. we just don't stand for that. We can't see our fans getting hurt like that. That's not chill.

Punching the shit out of our fans? Fuck no. Pulling my guitarist off stage? FUCK NO.

You guys got what you deserved. Fuck that shit. Be fucking chill. Violence wasn't necessary.
