Fans at Dylan shows are now asked to switch off their phones and stick them in a Yondr pouch before collecting them at the end of the gig. It\u2019s not clear if Hildebrand complied with this stipulation.<\/p>\n<p>Best picks for you<\/p>\n<p>Neither is it clear whether it was the venue that chucked him out, or Dylan\u2019s team. In fact, it seems likely that Hildebrand was ejected due to the circulation of other fans&#8217; snapshots and videos on his site, rather than being caught with his own proscribed mobile.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Last night in Glasgow, Daniel was asked to leave the venue before the show began and was declared an &#8216;unwanted person'&#8221; reads a statement shared by the Daily Dylan site.<\/p>\n<p id=\"5ec25849-b68b-4513-b5dd-4a30c8346e3d\">The statement continues, \u201cwe will no longer post any material (photos, videos, audio) from the shows\u201d and says\u201c we are considering closing the Daily Dylan account entirely, but we need time to process last night\u2019s experience and to make this difficult decision\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>We want to make it clear that we have never taken any photos or videos ourselves that were posted here \u2013 even though this was mentioned as a reason by staff.

Like many fan sites, Daily Dylan is not monetised in any way.<\/p>\n<p>Dylan is just one of a number of artists who have adopted a no-phone policy at their gigs in recent years. Others include Jack White, Placebo, Ghost and Tool. In an interview with Rolling Stone earlier this year even Sabriuna Carpenter said she was considering a phone ban, even though she thought it would \u201cpiss off\u201d her fans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Remember how Bob Dylan banned phones from his gigs a couple of years back?
