Rap group Odd Future has been refused entry to New Zealand because it is “a potential threat to public order and the public interest”.
Immigration New Zealand confirmed it had refused to allow members of Odd Future to travel to this country.
“Odd Future has been deemed to be a potential threat to public order and the public interest for several reasons, including incidents at past performances in which they have incited violence,” Immigration NZ said today.
“In one instance, a police officer was hospitalised following a riot incited by Odd Future.”
Odd Future had been due to perform at this weekend’s Rapture 2014 at Western Springs Stadium in Auckland, at which Eminem will be the main act.
