Halsey Thanks 'Energetic' Crowd In Bahrain Concert After Facing Some Rough Moments

Halsey is on her "Love & Power" Tour and just a few days back, after wrapping up Barcelona and Portugal, she went to Bahrain.

It seems she faced a rough crowd there, although she thanked them for the "energy."

Meanwhile, the mention of "pride" in Bahrain has boggled some!

Halsey finally posted a set of pictures from her Bahrain concert that showed her having a blast onstage, with some pictures of the fans and audience as well.

Wrote the 28-year-old singer, "Groundbreaking and History Making show in Bahrain last week. First ever summer concert (and during Pride at that!) and a first for foreign female headliners. 💪🏼 the crowd was unbelievable, SO much energy. Thank you for having me!"

The post came a week after one fan lamented on her Instagram, "Are you shy to say that you’re in Bahrain? Your Middle Eastern fans don’t deserve to be on your page? You’re strong and you can say where you are performing and f--k the critics. I will be sad if you don’t post anything about us as Arab fans."

Meanwhile, those who watched the concert seemed blown away, leaving the "Closer" singer appreciative comments:

"Thank you for performing and making one of my dreams come true.. hope to see you again someday pls come back."

"Best night of my entire life!🔥 I really hope next time you’ll come to Saudi!! So much love for you here."

"The concert was so amazing. Thank you Halsey for giving us an unforgettable night in Bahrain."

That said, the fans who saw her interact with the concertgoers, issued her an apology!

While Halsey appreciated the energy of the crowd, it seems some of the fans got a bit rough. While the "Lilith" singer did not mention any such rough handling, some of her fans felt sorry for the way she was nearly pulled into the crowd over the barricades by the fans she reached out to touch.

Wrote some of the more upset fans:

"I'm sorry the male crowd was rough with you during your crowd interaction—I hope you are ok!"

"'So much energy' yeah it showed in that video of men literally pulling you down off the barricade 🙄 I hope you still had fun though, it looked like a killer show 🫶"

Here's a glimpse of the crowd that seemed to be yanking on her hand:

More in the audience complained about the lack of security and organization as well.

"The organizers of this event FAILED miserably, there were none of them onsite anyways. The place was a nasty zoo. Worst experience and the worst concert, it’s a shame we didn't get to enjoy Halsey as intended."

"The performers were amazing but security failed miserably, grown-ass men kept pushing and shoving us and security did NOTHING!!! there were so many staff members for what??? horrible organization!!! a stampede could have easily happened with the way people were running as soon as doors opened! next time let people in by groups!"

In her caption, Halsey mentioned "pride" and fans wondered how true it could be, given that Bahrain is a Muslim country.

Wrote a fan, "Bahrain has Pride?? I wouldn’t want to be the person(s) testing the limits of tolerance in Bahrain but you go, girl!! I’m sure you blew the roof off the place."

Another asked, "What pride in Bahrain? What did I miss?". So an Instagram user clarified, "I don’t want to shock you, but Bahrain is the only Arab country that allows homosexuality 🏳️‍🌈. They allow it. I've seen a lot of gay people at Halsey's concert."

It seems Bahrain is more tolerant of the LGBTQ+ community than its neighbors, something many Instagram users were delighted to know.

That said, someone did tell her off, "No pride in the Muslim world Halsey plz respect that."

For others, it was the Hijab photo, and so one Instagram user fanned over Halsey, saying:

"From all of those fans you decided to post a photo of some fans with Hijab, I love you because I know no matter where we came from or what religion we have you always see us and respect us as we respect you and love you too! I’m proud to be your fan, Halsey."
