Australian musician Keli Holiday denied US entry, girlfriend apologizes for Trump post

Australian musician Keli Holiday, one half of electronic duo Peking Duk, was forced to cut short his North America tour after being denied re-entry into the US at the Canadian border. Holiday had performed several US shows before traveling to Toronto, Canada. On Friday, he attempted to return for a New York gig but was detained at the border despite having proper visa documentation. His girlfriend, podcaster and TV host Abbie Chatfield, apologized on Tuesday for a July 2025 video critical of Donald Trump, which she said was misinterpreted and that Holiday had not seen. Chatfield clarified she did not call for political violence. Holiday, real name Adam Hyde, posted about the incident over the weekend seeking clarity. The BBC contacted Holiday's management for comment. The incident follows US proposals requiring foreign visitors to provide five-year social media history.
