A chaotic scene unfolded during a recent concert by Lady Gaga at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane, where notorious celebrity pest Johnson Wen, known for his disruptive antics, attempted to crash the event. Wen, 26, was identified in the audience and quickly removed by security. This incident follows his controversial behavior at a red carpet event for Ariana Grande in Singapore last month, where he infamously charged the stage.
Footage shared across social media platforms captured Wen inside the stadium before his removal. His history of disruptive behavior at large concerts includes similar incidents involving artists like Katy Perry and The Weeknd. Wen’s latest stunt has reignited discussions about security at major events as he continues to seek attention through these reckless actions.
The concert, part of Gaga’s Mayhem Ball tour, faced additional challenges that left many fans frustrated. Concertgoers reported significant delays entering the venue, with gates opening an hour later than expected, at 18:00 instead of 17:00. As a result, Lady Gaga did not take the stage until 19:40, 40 minutes after the scheduled start time.
Several fans expressed their dissatisfaction, sharing their experiences on social media. One concertgoer lamented, “Thousands of us were left standing outside the stadium after paying hundreds of dollars to see her. Her team and she should be f**king ashamed.” Reports indicated that at least two individuals required medical assistance due to the lengthy wait in line.
Another attendee, in a detailed TikTok video, described the situation as the “worst experience” she and her friends encountered at a concert. She criticized the lack of organization, stating, “There were three-plus lines for every line, so you were just lining up in useless lines.” The frustration peaked when fans discovered that the venue had run out of wristbands, further delaying their entry.
In response to the delays, Suncorp Stadium acknowledged the issues on their official Instagram account, thanking fans for their patience and referencing the “delayed start.”
Adding to the evening’s turmoil, Johnson Wen, who has been previously sentenced to nine days in jail for public nuisance in Singapore, shared a selfie on Instagram after his ejection. He wrote, “Got kicked out of Lady Gaga concert! The show doesn’t start ’til 20:00! The early fans were booing me,” alongside laughing emojis. Eyewitnesses noted that Wen was wearing a disguise, complete with a fake mustache when he attempted to enter the concert.
Wen has developed a following online due to his celebrity encounters, often labeling himself as a “Troll Most Hated.” His behavior has raised concerns about the safety of both performers and audiences at public events.
As the night unfolded, the combination of Wen’s antics and the logistical issues experienced by fans overshadowed what was supposed to be a triumphant return for Lady Gaga in Brisbane. The concert’s challenges serve as a reminder of the complexities involved in organizing large-scale events, where safety and fan experience must be balanced.
With the concert now behind them, fans are left hoping for a more seamless experience in the future, while authorities may need to reassess their strategies for ensuring security and crowd management at such high-profile events.
