A$AP Rocky's rowdy stage show turned into an all-out brawl early this morning at the SXSW festival in Austin, Texas. Reports are surfacing that Rocky and his A$AP Mob cadre had a throwdown with a drunken crowd around 3:00am at the Vice Kills Texas party in Austin. Apparently, there had also been a small scuffle earlier in the show during which a stage diver grabbed one of the A$AP Mob's do-rags.

The concert was paused while the Mob demanded its return, at which point, someone in the crowd threw a can of beer and hit one of the guys onstage. Rocky allegedly tried to quell the situation until an angry audience member threw a beer can at him. Subsequently more objects were thrown onstage which infuriated Rocky and his crew. They jumped into the crowd and a "full-blown brawl ensued for several minutes," according to Spinner who was live on the scene. At least one audience member had a gash on his head from the fight and ultimately, security had to clear the room and the police arrived to shut the party down.

    • Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?
      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
