Sombr calls O2 Academy Brixton the 'most poorly managed venue I've ever played at in my life' in on stage rant over safety concerns... weeks after after he was pushed by 'protestor' during BRITs performance

Sombr has called out London's O2 Academy Brixton as the 'most poorly managed venue I've ever played at in my life'.

The Grammy winner, 20, performed a three night stint at the South London venue this week, but during Monday night's gig he criticised security and Brixton's management team after a fan fainted in the crowd.

Videos circulating online show the US singer stopping the show and pointing out the fan to security. 

He is then heard saying: 'This is the most poorly managed venue I've ever performed at in my life.'

Appearing to turn to security at the venue, he added: 'You guys need to pay attention - it's insane. Safety comes first.' 

Last month the star sent waves through social media with his BRIT Awards performance, after he was pushed halfway through by a stage invader. 

He performed two breakout hits from his debut album I Barely Know Her - Back to Friends and Undressed - the latter of which was up for International Song of the Year, but lost out to Rosé and Bruno Mars' APT.

Sporting a hot pink metallic suit Sombr was nearly at the end of his rendition of Undressed when a man suddenly rushed the stage and shoved him off the podium in front of the stunned crowd.

The unidentified man then turned around to reveal a t-shirt that read: 'SOMBR IS A HOMEWRECKER', before he was quickly grabbed and strong-armed off stage by security guards.

Sombr seemingly recovered immediately, returning to the podium to launch into his performance of Back to Friends.

His reps later confirmed that the whole stage invasion was a planned part of his performance, serving to promote his latest single Homewrecker.

The O2 Academy Brixton reopened in April 2024 16 months after a deadly crush at the venue.

Security guard Gaby Hutchinson, 23, and Rebecca Ikumelo, 33, were killed when fans without tickets tried to force their way into a show by Nigerian artist Asake on December 15, 2022.

The venue faced permanent closure after the Metropolitan Police urged the council to remove its licence but following a two-day hearing in September 2023, Lambeth Council's licensing sub-committee voted to allow the venue to continue operating - so long as it meets '77 extensive and robust new conditions'.

The company which owns the Brixton Academy, Academy Music Group (AMG), said it had developed new safety measures in an effort to have its licence restored, including stronger doors, a better queuing system and more secure ticketing.

The venue has spent £1.2 million on maintenance and improvements in 2023, despite being closed, a hearing was told.

AMG have been contacted by Daily Mail for comment.
