Marlowe responds
On Sunday, Marlowe addressed the incident in a four-minute TikTok video. He explained that he and a friend were watching Owen’s set from a front-of-house tower when security approached them, despite their “All Access” and “Artist Credentials” passes.
Marlow said , “We were like, ‘Hey. We have All Access wristbands given to our tour manager for us to wear to be anywhere we want to be.’”
The security guard responded, “No. I don’t care. So and so said you can’t be up here.”

Marlowe admitted the exchange grew heated.
“I’m not going to paint it like I was this perfectly great dude who wasn’t rude back to him after he was rude to me,” he said in the video. “There were definitely a few heated words exchanged with that guy, nothing crazy, but I feel like he was rude to me and I was rude back to him, and I shouldn’t have been.”
