A Self-Proclaimed "Stage Invader" Caught on Camera for Second Time
Johnson Wen, a 26-year-old self-proclaimed "stage invader," has once again made headlines after being removed from a Lady Gaga concert in Brisbane, Australia. The incident, which occurred at SunCorp Stadium on Tuesday, December 9, was captured on camera and shared on social media.
According to eyewitnesses, Wen attempted to disguise himself by donning dark sunglasses and a mustache, but security quickly caught wind of his plan. Fan-captured videos show security personnel stripping Wen of his glasses, lanyard, and wristbands as nearby fans cheered for his removal. Wen was seen smiling at the crowd before being escorted out of the venue.
Representatives from Lady Gaga's team and SunCorp Stadium have yet to comment on the incident. However, Wen took to Instagram, where he shared a post stating that he was "kicked out" of the concert due to arriving too early. The singer described the early fans as "booing him," implying that their reaction may have contributed to his removal.
Wen has a history of making headlines for his unconventional behavior. In 2023, he made international news after rushing onto the stage during performances by Katy Perry, the Weeknd, and the Chainsmokers, where he grabbed Ariana Grande's hand on the red carpet at her Wicked: For Good premiere in Singapore. Wen was subsequently charged with being a public nuisance, detained for nine days, and deported from Singapore back to Australia.
Wen has attempted to reframe these incidents as normal fan encounters, claiming that he feels like he's "in a dream" when interacting with celebrities like Ariana Grande. However, his actions have raised concerns about the mental health and well-being of individuals who engage in such behavior.

... people can be so mean online & offline, it's no wonder he feels like he's "in a dream" when interacting with celebs... but rushing onto the stage without permission? that's just not cool, dude 
... maybe instead of trying to sneak into concerts, he should try connecting with artists through legit channels, like fan mail or social media? 
anyway back to this stage invader dude johnson wen... like whats wrong with him tho? cant he just enjoy concerts like normal ppl? 
i mean i get it if hes into stargazing or whatever but invading stages? no thanks. btw has anyone tried pineapple pizza? 
. this guy's been around before and we all know how that turns out... gets caught up in the moment and ends up being detained 
. honestly though, who is this dude thinking he can just show up to a Lady Gaga concert uninvited and not get caught? 
, I don't get what's so cool about crashin' these concerts 
. Like, Johnson Wen's got a rep for bein' all up in celebrities' business, but to me it just seems like a whole lotta drama 
. He's tryin' to make some sick vids on Instagram and get his 15 mins of fame, but really he's just causin' a scene and disturbatin' other fans 
. And yeah, I feel bad for the people who got booed outta there 
, that ain't cool either. Can't we all just vibe out to our fave tunes in peace? 
... poor lady Gaga fans got to deal with that drama again 
. Wen's like a super-frequent flyer on bad news trains 
. I mean, who tries to crash concerts and gets charged for being a nuisance? Sounds like he needs some help, tbh 
. Last time in Singapore was pretty intense, nine days in detention is no joke 
. Seriously, though, has this guy ever thought about the impact on celebrities and their teams? Or is this all just a thrill-seeking stunt for him?
. Meanwhile, fans are left feeling frustrated and annoyed by his behavior
