Three members of the punk band, the UK Subs – including Iggy Pop’s bass player Alvin Gibbs – were denied entry into the US.
The musicians are the latest foreign nationals to run into trouble with immigration at US airports since Donald Trump entered office.
The UK Subs, who have toured the US previously without incident, were due to perform at a punk festival in Los Angeles and flew into LAX.
