Amyl & The Sniffers Should’ve Labelled Gig a Nazi Rally if They Wanted It To Go Ahead, Police Say Police say they were left with no choice but to shut down a free gig from band Amyl & The Sniffers, after it became apparent the event was a legally ambiguous ‘music performance’ rather than the more protected category ‘full-blown extremist gathering’. A spokesperson said the shut-down could have been avoided if the band had advertised the concert as a swastika-adjacent meet-and-greet.
