Mexican Coke Exit Fentanyl Tour Following Drunken Incident at SLC Show
Fentanyl, Mexican Coke, and Asbestos sounds like a cocktail that should never be combined, but actually it was a tour with hardcore act Fentanyl being supported by Houston-based hardcore act Mexican Coke and Canadian metal/punk act Asbestos. Although now it seems that it’ll just be Fentanyl and Asbestos for the rest of the tour because Mexican Coke has exited the tour following a drunken incident at a show in Salt Lake City.
According to a thread in the r/Hardcore subreddit, Mexican Coke’s vocalist, whose name doesn’t seem to be publicly known, caused an incident after getting belligerently drunk. User 1994HondaAccord described the incident:
“Title says it, the vocalist from Mexican Coke was in SLC on their tour with Asbestos and Fentanyl, and the vocalist for Mexican Coke spent the entire show drinking in excess, treating young concert goers poorly, cussed out the audience, and continued to egg on a group of drunk punks in the audience, and then refused to start performing until he had another beer in his hand.
“After a song and a half of drunken mumbling, people start throwing beer cans and one of the drunk punks came up and started swinging on him on stage. Multiple other people came to aid both sides and it ended with the vocalist having his shirt torn off.
“Not as fun of a time as I’d hoped. Asbestos kicks ass though!”
User mywar69420 expanded on the incident, saying:
“Missed half the the story. He was calling audience members homos and f*gs, throwing beer cans into people’s faces. He then broke an $80 piece of microphone equipment, and then on top of that proceeded to call someone the N word. People who came up to kick his ass were the people running the venue.”
Shortly after the incident, Fentanyl vocalist Kenneth Turner posted on Twitter:
“Mexican Coke are no longer playing this tour. Pull up for Asbestos as direct support”
It’s unclear how mutual the decision was for Mexican Coke to leave the tour, but fans seem to be speculating that they were kicked off the tour following the incident.
