The Amity Affliction's Joel Birch has taken to Twitter to address an incident at the band's show in Las Vegas this past weekend, where the frontman called out a fan in the crowd for wearing a Donald Trump t-shirt. 

As Blabbermouth reports, the occurrence took place during the Brisbane outfit's gig at the Brooklyn Bowl on Saturday night. 

"What I said tonight was much more balanced than I could have been, and wanted to be," Birch tweeted after the concert.

"Just like I wouldn’t wear an atheist tee to church, I expect people to exercise a certain decorum when attending our shows."

The thread continues, "I do not feel like you have the right to make others uncomfortable by wearing a jersey that may as well be branded with a swastika. I will not remain silent if you come to our shows dressed like that. 

"You can believe whatever you want to believe while you are outside the venue, but don’t you DARE bring your negative energy inside to intimidate and cause discomfort to others. I wish you didn’t like our band. I wish you hadn’t come to the show."
