JUST LET HIM PERFORM

I have been reading through the comments and your personal stories about why this matters are truly overwhelming. The fact that so many people feel this strongly is entirely due to your passion rather than anything I did.

This is ridiculous people need to properly research something if they're going to go this far. An understanding of satire helps as well.
This is a tour for Cherry Bomb. Cherry Bomb does not feature any rape cultured lyrics or misogynistic lyrics. Let Tyler perform.
The work of someone 10 years ago shouldn't determine whether they are allowed in a country or not. I'm sure everyone has done something stupid when they are 15 and they have not been banned. Sorry but this argument is invalid. Art is Art.
Tyler isn't the same person he always has been. Something you rap/sing about doesn't mean you would do do it. If this is a thing then we shouldn't be letting horror movie writers into our country either.
Tyler shouldn't be banned anyway. The content of his lyrics compared to every single artist who's part of Soundwave can not compare. As much as Tony Abbott does not speak for my generation, allowing a band in the country last year who staged a fake leader beheading at their concert & you let them in? Not tyler? Literally a kid who raps & doesn't actively promote violence like the headliners of the Soundwave Festival.
He has a right to perform
Banning someone for art is wrong. If the art was encouraging people to commit acts of sexual violence, maybe so, but Tyler isn't. He doesn't speak on those topics anymore and his current tour is promoting his album 'Cherry Bomb', completely wrong with the claimed 'sexist' lyrics from years ago. He shouldn't be banned because of a minority of dumb fans harassing people either. There's no evidence that Tyler's performances in 2013 led to sexual violence, so there's no reason to ban him now.

Tyler performing in Australia (Sydney in particular)honestly means the world to me. I have been looking forward to attending one of his performances for a very very long time and his music has really grown to be a part of me. Tyler being banned in Australia is unfair on many levels, particularly for his fans.
