The View banned from Travelodge chain

Band alleged to have caused thousands of pounds worth of damage

The View have been banned from the Travelodge chain of hotels after allegedly causing £7,000 worth of damage at a Liverpool branch in November.

The incident occurred after the played a gig with Primal Scream at Liverpool’s Academy on November 21, when they left the taps running and flooded several rooms.

After the show, it is claimed an unnamed member of the band threw his duvet into the bath and turned the taps on before fleeing. Residents below complained when water came rushing through their ceilings.

Travelodge spokesperson Greg Dawson told The Daily Record: “The View are banned from every Travelodge in the country. We don’t care who they are, they acted offensively and were anti-social to other residents. They are not welcome back.”
