I'll play devil's advocate, these venues kind of have an obligation to have information on the artists they're hosting. How they use (and store) that information to book and host events is another thing, but a good venue doesn't blindly book artists. And when you book a lot, you can't rely on memory.
A venue needs to know if they should expect blowback against the artist and crowd they're hosting as they've an obligation to protect them. You can't have a safe place if you turn a blind eye to the people who might seek to disrupt the show.
Wth are you on about. If you're going to play devils advocate at least advocate for some realistic alternative viewpoint. What you just wrote makes zero sense.
Maybe they should get them to wear pins, too! Ya know, for their safety or whatever.
Get real.
