Police humorously claim they had to shut down a free gig by Amyl & The Sniffers due to its legally ambiguous status as a 'music performance', rather than a more protected extremist gathering. They jokingly suggest that labeling it as a 'Nazi Rally' might have allowed it to proceed without a hitch.

"If they’d just slapped 'Nazi Rally' on the poster in bold letters, everything would’ve been fine," a police spokesperson quipped. The article satirically highlights the irony that while music gigs face shutdowns, fringe extremist movements are sometimes provided with escort and assistance.

The spokesperson humorously advised the band that for future gigs to go smoothly, they should consider including neo-Nazi keynote speakers and a provocatively legal banner.
