A German DJ has gone viral on social media after stopping a gig in Adelaide, southern Australia, to remonstrate with the crowd and call them out for their behaviour.

News.com.au reports that Hoffstadt – who also performs using the name DJ Daddy Trance – was performing at the city’s Wildlands Festival last weekend when he stopped his set midway through, to give the crowd instructions for better behaviour.

Video footage of the concert shows Hoffstadt telling his audience: “As much as I love you all, and as sick as it is to play for you guys, from here it looks f**king rowdy down there. “That is not a compliment.

Everyone drink some water, look out for each other and chill a f**king bit. “I know it’s so nice but let’s chill a bit.” Following the incident, Hoffstadt posted on Instagram his view that he had noticed Australian crowds had displaying more concerning behaviour than those in his native Europe.
