An Australian DJ was forced to fine a fan on Sunday for climbing a metal structure during his performance at the Gold Coast’s Spilled Milk Festival.
Fisher, real name Paul Nicholas Fisher, was headlining the popular Queensland festival at the time, performing to crowds of thousands.
But in the middle of his set, fan videos showed a man climbing onto a metal frame standing high in the middle of the crowd.
The Losing It musician paused his set and told the fan by cursing and laughing as he instructed him to climb down.
‘Hey, you crazy cunt. You have to get down or I have to stop this shit and everyone will fuck you in the ass if you don’t get off,” he shouted from the stage.
The fan immediately descended to join the sea of people and received a mixed response of boos and cheers before Fisher resumed his set.

The video from the artist’s set follows the death of an 18-year-old girl from meningococcal infection after attending Canberra’s Spilled Milk Festival on November 26.
Her heartbroken family turned off life support on Sunday.
NSW Health announced the teenager’s death on Monday, confirming she was the third person to die from meningococcal disease in the state this year.

Last week, music festival Spilled Milk issued an alert that an infected person who attended the November 26 event is currently in Canberra Hospital.
Meningococcal disease is a rare but serious and sometimes fatal infection.
It’s not easy to spread.
Parents and young people are urged to be alert to meningococcal disease symptoms and to act immediately when they appear.
So far this year 29 cases of meningococcal disease have been reported in NSW.
The majority of cases are due to the meningococcal B strain of infection.
Meningococcal disease is now uncommon thanks to vaccination, but it still occurs year-round, with increased cases in late winter and early spring
Australian residents are encouraged to get two meningococcal vaccines.
Babies can have their first meningococcal vaccine at six weeks and their second at 12 months.
dr Jeremy McAnulty, Executive Director of Health Protection NSW, said early treatment can be life-saving.
“Symptoms of meningococcal disease can come on suddenly and become very serious very quickly,” he said.
“I urge everyone not to ignore symptoms when they appear or assume it’s just a mild infection.
“If you suspect meningococcal disease, don’t wait for the rash — see a doctor right away.”
dr McAnulty also warned residents to look out for any symptoms, not just a rash.
“Although it’s a well-known symptom of meningococcal disease, the rash doesn’t always appear or may appear late in the disease process,” said Dr. McAnulty.
“If symptoms are rapidly worsening or if your child is very unwell, call Triple Zero (000) or go straight to the nearest emergency room.”
