Frank Carter delivered an impassioned speech at his Brisbane show on Saturday night, in which he spoke out against the culture of sexual assaults against women at gigs, before leading a female-only stage dive.
Speaking about his two-year-old daughter, the British singer said, “I refuse to grow up in a world where she does not feel safe to stage dive.”
Addressing the males in the audience, he added, “This is how the change happens. We have this conversation among ourselves and if you see anybody at any gig from now on touch anybody inappropriately, you fucking knock their teeth out. And when they ask you, ‘What the fuck was that for?’ – you tell them that I sent you.”
Carter then kicked into ‘Modern Ruin’, which was followed by a handful of women diving off the stage into the audience. It was pretty damn special. Watch footage of the speech, and some acrobatic ladies, below.
