Yard Act have issued a statement following reports that a woman was harassed in the crowd at one of their gigs this week.The Leeds band played their biggest headline show to date at London’s Village Underground on Thursday (February 17), and wrote on Twitter that they’d been alerted to a young female fan being treated inappropriately by an older man during the show.“To be clear, Yard Act shows are for everyone, and we absolutely need everyone to feel safe at our gigs,” the band wrote. “If you are a fan of our band, that means it’s your responsibility too.

Work with us. We attract a fair number of the old boys, probably because we sound like bands from the past.
