As the divisive wands of the future continue to grow in popularity, a number of venues have taken a stand.

Selfie sticks, love or hate them, appear to be here to stay.

However, a number of major venues have banned the devices for safety reasons and to prevent them ruining people's experiences.

A spokesperson said: “Although selfie sticks are not something we’ve had to address yet, we wouldn’t allow them into live shows at the Roundhouse due to safety regulations.

"They also have the potential to obstruct the view for others in the audience which could impact on people’s enjoyment of a live show.”

Verdict: Banned.
