Only at a Wade Forster show could a bar fight turn into a bromance.
During a recent stop on his US leg of The Dying Breed Tour in Salt Lake City, Aussie country sensation Wade Forster found himself playing peacemaker when two guys started throwing hands mid-set. While most artists would signal security and keep it moving, Wade? He stopped the show and was straight into the crowd.
Captured by TikTok user Faith Fullmer, the now-viral moment shows Wade stepping in like the cowboy dad we all wish we had. His message? Clear and straight from the bush:
“Hug him back, otherwise you’re out.” Forster can be seen saying during the video, ”Dude, Wade Forster shows are not f**king fighting shows.”
Honestly? Iconic.
Rather than just kicking them out, Wade got their names and made sure they squashed it, not with fists, but with a hug. The crowd went wild, and you could feel the tension disappear in real time.
Wade then reminded everyone: “When sh*t goes to fighting, the whole fking place gets a sh*t vibe. You want to wreck it for everyone else here?” Before adding. “I flew a long way to be here. Please... I want you to have a good time.”
Spoken like a man who knows a thing or two about respect.
Forster handled it like a total legend. No ego, no drama, just good ol’ accountability, Aussie charm, and a bit of “don’t make me come down there again.” attitude.
This is the same bloke who grew up on cattle stations, taught himself guitar, and ended up playing packed-out venues in the USA. Now he’s playing peacekeeper to rowdy concert bros.
In true Wade Forster fashion, he didn’t just break up a fight. He made it a moment. Country music needs more of this energy.
