A punk band from Germany was allegedly refused entry into the UK due to post-Brexit rule changes.
The Stuttgart-based band called Trigger Cut was due to play at seven UK venues this week but was refused entry into the country.
“Today we got refused at the UK border for weird reasons,” the band wrote in a Facebook post. “We would have needed a special certificate of sponsorship but no one knew before, not even the venues, promoters, or the German customs authority.
“Brexit bureaucracy??? A post-Brexit nightmare.”
The band, which consists of three members, also said that the whole experience “at the UK border was humiliating and sad”.
In another post, the band explained that the UK authorities wanted them to have “ a so-called certificate of sponsorship from all seven clubs,” claiming that “this certificate or number was unknown even to the organisers”.
“Nobody knew about it!!” the post read.
