Concert Disrupted by a Medical Incident
During Devilskin’s performance at the University of Otago’s Union Hall in Dunedin, New Zealand, the show was halted a few songs in on July 25 after an audience member suffered a medical emergency that resulted in fecal matter being deposited in the centre of the mosh pit. Attendees reported a strong odor and visible contamination, prompting security to intervene and the individual to be escorted from the venue while remaining fully clothed.
Audience Reactions and Immediate Impact
He and others stepped back, some shuffling a metre or three away, before alerting security. The contamination caused several concertgoers to vomit; one witness said a woman was “crying, crying, crying” with vomit in her hair and feces on her legs. The smell prompted many fans to flee the hall, leaving a large empty space in the centre of the mosh pit for the remainder of the night.
Official Responses
Lead singer Jennie Skulander addressed the interruption, responding simply, “Poo. EW!” The band later posted on Instagram a tongue-in-cheek promotion for a fictional “Diaper of Doom,” an adult nappy intended to prevent similar incidents.
Daniel Leamy, president of the Otago University Students’ Association, issued a statement describing the event as “an unfortunate medical incident” and urged compassion.

The incident, while medically driven, dominated concertgoers’ experience of the night, eclipsing the performance itself and prompting both humorous and serious reactions from the band and venue officials.
