Ariana Grande venues tighter security for Australian shows, all bags banned

ALL bags, even the tiniest clutch, will be banned from Ariana Grande’s concerts in Australia next week in the wake of the terrorist attack after her Manchester Arena show in May.

The venues hosting her Dangerous Woman concerts in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane next week, have been instructed to introduce tight security measures for the Australian leg of the tour.

All sizes of bags are strictly prohibited, with fans allowed only to bring essential items such as keys, wallet and phone in a clear plastic carry bag.

“This event is strictly a NO BAG event. Should you need to carry personal items, a clear plastic carry bag no larger than (H) 20cm x 25cm x (D) 10cm where contents are visible is acceptable,” the ICC Sydney theatre has posted on their website.

“Laptops, tablets, iPads, professional cameras with detachable lenses, bottles of any kind and all items on the prohibited items list will not be permitted in to the event.”

There will be no cloak room open at the venue for fans to be able to store their bags at these concerts.

Fans will also have to go through personal checks with metal wands and pat-downs.

And parents who are dropping off or picking up their children have also been asked to “please do not bring a bag”…
