From Shakespeare to Harry Styles: Have audiences always been rowdy?

By Clare Thorp12th July 2023

From Pink being given a giant wheel of Brie to Harry Syles getting pelled in the face by a mystery object, disruptive music and theatre shows seems to be on the rise. But is it anything new, asks Clare Thorp.

When Harry Styles was pelted with chicken nuggets while on stage at New York's Madison Square Gardens last summer, he took it in his stride. "Interesting approach," smiled Styles, who has also weathered kiwi fruits, Skittles and bunches of flowers while performing. But when a mystery object hit him in the eye at a concert in Vienna last weekend, he wasn't laughing but, rather, wincing in pain.

It was the latest in a string of incidents where audience members have hurled potentially dangerous objects at performers. Earlier this month Drake was hit on the arm by a flying phone. That came days after country singer Kelsea Ballerini was struck in the face with a bracelet. In May, Bebe Rexha was taken to hospital and needed multiple stitches after a phone hit her in the eye. A man, since charged with assault, told police he thought it "would be funny" to try and hit the singer.

It's not just live music seeing disruptive behaviour. In April, police were called to a performance of The Bodyguard musical in Manchester when rowdy audience members reacted with "unprecedented levels of violence" to staff. At other venues there has been everything from "heated arguments" to full-on brawls. And in the US, one fan's disruption of a Broadway play in December 2022 followed several other incidents of audience outbursts.

Across the cultural sphere, it feels like audiences are misbehaving. At a recent Las Vegas show, Adele weighed in, saying: "Have you noticed how people are like, forgetting … show etiquette at the moment? People just throwing shit on stage" – before warning fans not to try it with her.

Billie Eilish meanwhile, says this kind of thing, while "infuriating", is nothing new. "I've been getting hit on stage with things for like, literally, six years," she told the Hollywood Reporter. Dr Kirsty Sedgman, a senior lecturer in theatre at the University of Bristol who specialises in audience research, also cautions against calling it a new trend. "People have always thrown things on stage," says Sedgman, whose latest book, On Being Unreasonable, explores widening divisions in society over how we use public space. "Whether that's fruit as a way to signify displeasure, or softer items like underwear and flowers as a signal of adoration." Back In 1775, a performer in Sheridan's The Rivals stopped the show when he was pelted with an apple.

Humane Wants Its New Ai Pin to Liberate You From Your Phone Screen

Kocienda raises his palm. A green volume meter, pause button, and next-song button appear on his hand. He twists his wrist clockwise, and the volume rises. Anticlockwise, and the song gets quieter. He clasps his fingers, and the music pauses completely. Then he drops his hand and the green laser display vanishes. “I just love the way the computer’s there, and then the computer’s gone,” Kocienda tells me, maintaining eye contact. “One of the aspects is, you stay in the moment with people that you’re with.” Kocienda is the head of product engineering at Humane, a San Francisco company which, on Thursday, launched a device that its creators hope will be the iPhone for the AI generation. While the wearable computer, called the Humane Ai Pin, has a laser display that can be projected onto your hand if needed, the idea is that the device is screenless, instead conversing with its user in the form of speech. Its operating system calls upon AI large language models, including OpenAI’s GPT-4, for tasks as varied as calling a friend, translating a face-to-face conversation in real time, taking photographs, reminding you what your partner texted you last Thursday, or settling a dinnertime dispute about how many moons Jupiter has.

Earth just had its hottest year ever recorded — by far

Last year was Earth’s hottest in recorded history, the European Union’s climate agency announced Tuesday, confirming what scientists have been expecting — and dreading. The E.U.’s Copernicus Climate Change Service said global temperatures in 2023 were higher than in any year going back to at least 1850, reaching “exceptionally high” levels and averaging 1.48 degrees Celsius (2.66 degrees Fahrenheit) warmer than in preindustrial times. It’s a milestone that many climate scientists saw coming after a year that was chock full of extremes. Beginning in June, the planet notched month after month of warmer-than-usual conditions, with July and August 2023 coming in as the warmest two months ever recorded, according to the Copernicus report.
