So the venue says they have a consistent no-flag policy that all performers are made aware of in advance (via their management). They venue also says clearly that they were never asked by the band if an alternative banner could be flown.
The band makes a statement on TikTok, which to me sounded a little performative, that contradicts the venues statement. They begin with the unusual disclaimer that they don't speak on behalf of their management. Also, the flag which they say is so important to them, they are holding upside down. Their support of Palestine began around December 2024.
Something is really off here.
