I’m a little surprised that none of GG Allin’s concerts made this list, though to be fair, all of them together would probably take the #1 spot.
What about the Fyre Festival?
Make a video the SpongeBob Squarepants the end series from February 25th please i was a child and I loved it 😭😭😢
One conert was forgotten if you ask me, "Loveparade" 2010 in Germany.
21 people dead and over 600 injured.
Chad Kroger, not Kruger
I'm glad Nirvana did that. There was no excuse for the crowd to be horrible to the opening act.
Their Top Of The Pops performance was also legendary.
I would HIGHLY recommend finding that.
Nah, they shouldn't played a single note. Those assholes are not even worth it.
They don’t make em like a nirvana anymore
Thats one that im glad he did but seem like it was actually a pretty dope show lol
As an argentinian, I agree. It's not frecuent to happen but it did, rock and metal crowd can be very intolerant and closed with opening bands. Happened something similar with Meredith Brooks at the Rolling Stones concert.
The Nirvana incident was frickin amazing. Rest in peace, Kurt, your trolling of the rude audience will remain legendary!
I agree sexism is wrong and glad that does people got what they deserved
But they actually rewarded the crowd. They got to hear stuff that possibly noone else on earth ever got to hear, some of their experimental/prototype works... I can see how they thought they were punishing them but they actually were giving them something that is like a special reward for a make a wish kid or something, the chance to hear music from your favorite band that noone else has ever heard! And good especially for the 100s and 1000s in the crowd who werent throwing shit. Bands shouldnt try and punish 0.1% of the crowd by punishing all of them.... just kick those people out. I dont consider it trolling lol
Why do people love that guy? He was a drug addict!....I;m so glad he turned his skull into a ash tray
@@kendallevans4079 bruh yes he used drugs but so what just cause someone uses drugs that does't make them a bad person and also he was a amazing musician
@@lukecohen9833 Please don't call me "bruh or bro", OK? I am NOT your BROTHER
In March 1986, Dire Straits was performing in Western Springs Stadium in Auckland New Zealand. Someone threw a water bottle and it actually hit Mark Knopfler in the head. He immediately stopped playing and demanded to know who it was. The crowd pointed him out and the technicians turned the spotlights on him. Mark ordered him out and said the concert wouldn't continue until he was gone. Eventually, with 30,000 angry fans screaming at him, the thrower had to walk out with the spotlight following him all the way. Only after that did the music start again.
Dang.
I wonder how many were waiting outside. :[
Johnny Rotten got a bottle to the face on stage . I think in South America . It's here on UA-cam somewhere .
I wish i could see that lol!
Why is Fyre Festival higher than the Great White Concert Fire? People losing their lives is far worse than people just losing money.
I understand where you're coming from but nobody intentionally burned those people. Key word: intentionally. The Fyre Festival was the work of a con artist. People like that are very very dangerous. Especially if they get away with it the first time they try.
you can't do much living if you lose everything, which is what happened to the people of the island, you see they didn't just scam rich kids, the innocent people who were promised a paycheck for their effort at salvaging the event were the most affected ones
@@mikecustoms Plus as an added consequence, the bands reputation was never even close to the same and they were essentially ruined
@@chrisgraham2327 i’ll take being bankrupt over burning alive at the age of 23 anytime of the day. putting fyre festival over the 100 lives lost at the great white concert is a huge L.
@@chrisgraham2327 but justice was served with a 100 million dollar lawsuit against billy, and then another lawsuit and then 7 more lawsuits then he was charged with fraud and given 6 years in federal prison
Regarding the Nickelback concert, why would you buy tickets to see a band you hate in the first place?
Probably so they could do what they did
to hit the singer's head with your bottle of water, sounds reasonable to me
@@mikecustoms and then go home
Exactly! Nickelback had every right to leave the stage! People hate on that band way too much I feel bad for them. :(
But that's the thing that Watchmojo didn't care to explain, or didn't know: it wasn't a Nickelback concert, it a very heavy metal fest where some idiot organizing the event thought it was a good idea to put Nickelback playing between Slipknot and Dimmu Borgir. Yes, you read that right. Poor planning at its worst.
Of course it doesn't excuse the audience for being dumbasses, but I assure you there were no Nickelback fans on the crowd that day. Ilha do Ermal Festival was always a very heavy fest, and to even think of Nickelback in the middle of all the other names playing there that night was just insane. That crowd wasn't there for rock, they were there for metal. Still, no excuse :\
From Britney objecting to smoke to Travis Scott letting people die in front of him... That escalated quickly.
He didn't know!
@@mepe6809 how would he have known?
@@lyrijames2369 by seeing people getting killed in front of him
@@troywilton6578 cause he can see that from his view of 60000 people
He literally called out when he saw an ambulance. He knew people were hurt.
The Nickelback one is apparently because of a booking mistake. They were booked on a lineup for a Portuguese heavy metal festival In front of fans who were not really there to see them nor would be receptive to them. Chad Kroeger has said something like this in interviews that talked about the incident.
Yup, they put Nickelback on a black and deathmetal gig, ofc things went to shit quite fast, nevertheless no band deserves that treatment and was shitty and disrespectful thing to do to the band.
Yeah, but no band deserves to have rocks and bottles thrown at them...fuck mobs...
Rip
Someone here likes Nickelback?
Who the hell buys tickets for a band they hate?
One that wasn't mentioned;
Aerosmith's two concerts in Philadelphia PA . I was at both concerts. I forget the particulars of the first concert, someone threw a firecracker 🧨on stage and it exploded about 6 inches from Perry's guitar hand. Angry, Aerosmith walked off and the rest of the show was canceled and Aerosmith didn't return to Philadelphia for a few years over it.
Then after deciding to give us another chance, some idiot throws a bottle 🍼on the stage and again, Aerosmith angrily walks off, ending the show and vowing never to return to Philadelphia.
Although I was pissed due to missing the rest of the show, I fully understood their decision and couldn't blame them.
A side note, I was with a group of 10 of my friends for the second show and we were seated about 5 rows behind the 3 jack asses who threw the bottle. They did get an ass kicking outside the venue ( The Spectrum ). So Aerosmith, if any of you see this, I just wanted to let you know, they got what was coming to them.
I'm almost never in favor of violence, but some guys just ask for it!!!
This comment made my day, and I'm sure that Aerosmith would fully condone it as well.
@@affliction1979 I'm not. They can speak for themselves. They strike me as a bunch of nice guys.
Well, Philadelphia does have a very bad reputation of being a Hooligans Nest. And situations like this are not helping to clean it at all. Jeez, the City should start putting the Hooligan Law there and start putting drinking fountains on the venues instead of letting water bottles in
It seems that the only artists (that I know that did concerts there, comment me if there's another one) that can come to Philadelphia and not get harassed or attacked by these Hooligans are Elton John and Billy Joel
One incident worth mentioning was the Altamont Speedway Free Festival in 1969, where The Rolling Stones was performing, and the one mistake made was hiring a motorcycle gang as security, we all know how that happened.
The hells angels stopped a guy armed with a gun who was making his way towards the stage. So where’s the mistake?
@@stlpaulie beating people with pool cues and stabbing a concert goer to death. Did that answer the question?
@@Cokedlr the guy they stabbed had a gun. The hells Angel was found not guilty. Know all the facts.

Watchmojo Top 10 Concert Tragedies and Mishaps
As someone from houston, the astroworld festival was an absolute disgrace.
Travis continuing to perform while ambulances in the crowd are being jumped on, people being trampled on and killed, people trying to tell stage workers to stop him, and his just total lack of compassion afterwards is sickening. There were thousands of people squished on the floor, many of them not even teenagers yet. Livenation is also to blame. Travis should never come back here. Ten people ended up dying, on his hands, and hundreds more injured. I know he's being sued, but all the parents who had kids die, should take him for all his money.
Watching #8 brings back horrible memories, and makes me angry and sad for the innocent concert goers.
"Exactly who is responsible is hard to say" Travis. It was Travis Scott's fault. Playing stupid doesn't absolve him of guilt. He kept performing when he could have shut that shit down at literally any point.
Sounds like u mad u couldn't get tickets
@@vibetillthrive you didn't have to have tickets to get in obviously
@@bobthedopeman7327 while he was the headliner and he reacted poorly, the manager hires sn event coordinator who then hires a security detail. They hired some cheap ass security crew that hired workers for a day rate. Security was way understaffed so they could pocket the money.
He might get away with the "I didn't know what was going on because of the lights and noise" BS, but when he saw the ambulances trying to get through, he should've known something was going on and he should've immediately told the audience to let the medical personnel through. Instead, he flipped off the ambulances and watched as they were swarmed and attacked by the crowd.
Let's not forget the time Tom Araya asked the crowd at a Slayer concert for a moment of silence in memory of Jeff Hanneman, only for the crowd to adamantly refuse to quiet down, making Tom and the rest of the band increasingly upset, until they just walked off the stage and cancelled the rest of the show.
@@paulmcgrath6118 it’s not hard to shut the hell up for a minute, when asked.
@@paulmcgrath6118 More than a few.
Yeah? Then why is it, at a concert I went to right after 9/11 happened, the singer asked for a moment of silence, and an entire arena full of once screaming people had no problem shutting the fuck up?
Turns out, if you can't hear the singer say it, someone else in the crowd can transliterate. It took about 15 seconds to achieve total silence, but we got there. No excuses.
Love how a concert scam somehow beats out a building on fire where hundreds die
Thank you, I'm glad I'm not the only one who mentioned it. Yeah apparently they think rich people getting ripped off is worse than 100 deaths
Besides, the concert wasn't ruined by morons, it was a scam perpetrated by someone smart enough to pull off something like that. Well, that's Watchmojo for you.
Including one of the band, if I'm remembering right.
Seriously, the only thing that the Great White fire has over Fire festival (aside from being spelt right) is that their manager took responsibility for his actions and expressed genuine regret.
Good point Josh. How do they not see the hundreds dying as far worse.
I think they might have done that so that "hundreds of lives lost" wasn't the last thing in the video. Maybe.
No mention of the 1971 Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention Montreux concert where some idiot in the audience shot off a flare gun, burning down the Casino (which wasn't fully rebuilt until 1975), destroying all of FZ's gear, and inspiring Deep Purple's hit Smoke on the Water? I couldn't find any statistics but I'm sure there had to be injuries and possibly fatalities as well.
It wasn't some idiot in the audience, it was "some stupid with a flare gun
Burned the place to the ground" :-)
@@dougerrohmer That's the song lyric. I read about the event as it was reported to the Police at the scene. Deep Purple wasn't at the concert, they were in town to record their first album in the Rolling Stones mobile studio across an inlet of the lake. Smoke on the water was written by Deep Purple's bass player, and the title was based on the view of the smoke from the casino drifting across the lake.
There were only a few injuries and no fatalities thankfully.
An even worse one was FZ's next concert at The Rainbow Theatre in London ruined by another moron; the person in question pushed him off the stage into an orchestra pit, causing horrific injuries that left him wheelchair-bound and unable to tour for almost a year. Apart from a broken leg that left his leg slightly shorter than the other the fall also crushed his voice-box permanently lowering the pitch of his voice by a third of an octave. A terrible tour for Frank in general.
It was the making of "funky Cluade" who's heroics will be forever immortalised in that famous song.
I would have paid double what I make in a year to see that Nirvana concert live.
shut up.
yeah shut up
girlfriend of my father saw them live when they where not famous yet. i am so jealous.
Nice.

Pantera's Far Beyond Driven tour was my first concert.
Still got the guitar pick Darryl tossed, too.
All white in red lettering of Pantera on one side, then Far Beyond Drunken along with his signature on the other.
Been keepin it in a dime baggie for around 20 years now.

👍
Columbus OH, December 9, 2004....Damage Plan was playing a concert in a nightclub when a "fan", clearly not well, opened fire, wounding 3 and killing 4, including Pantera guitarist Dimebag Darryl Abbot.
Definitely changed how security was handled afterwards.
Didn't change gun laws, though.
@@DepressyDuck Sadly, no. No, it didn't.
Glad to see some old Behind the scenes from VH1. Underrated series
I loved that show growing up!
Behind the music not behind the scenes
@@smurfitoo1585 definitely behind the music
@@smurfitoo1585 Thanks for correcting that mistake.
You could make an entire list of times Five Finger Death Punch stopped concerts to call out idiots in the crowd ruining it for people around them.
Still disgusted by Travis Scott's no reaction to people being hurt by his urging...
"Ruined by Morons" are always my favorite WatchMojo videos.
off course, it makes us (watchers) feel we're not the worst out there
If I recollect accurately the fire that happened at the single-story club venue, it was discovered that management chained the door at the back of the club to keep people from coming in the back without paying the cover fee at the front door.
Yes and if I remember correctly, when people tried to get out the back, they were blocked by security.
This was a idiots at the venue and the band for having pyrotechnics in a small space.
There was also the stage door for the act to get out, but they wouldn't let anyone out except the band. I am from RI and this is one of the worst disaster I'd seen.
100 people dead is worse than 5000 rich kids getting ripped off...
I agree. Rich kids getting ripped off is a good thing.
Hundreds of local workers who promised paycheck to feed their families are also got ripped off at that festival.
I am honestly tired of richshaming. It is corruption I hate, not simply someone being rich.
Selena Quintanilla had her own incident where the crowd was pushing back against the stage at a Monterrey concert, where the stage itself was about to break.
WHO???
@@squirellmaster1 Tejano singer Selena.
Which Monterrey?
Sorry no, there's tons of cellphone footage of Travis Scott encouraging that behaviour and bemoaning the ambulance that showed up. He's the idiot that ruined his own show, end of story.
Yup. I feel like the narrator is an idiot. "eXaCtLy wHo iS rEsPoNsIbLe iS hArD tO sAy" Travis. Travis Scott is responsible for those deaths. That should be a career ender.
No he didn’t “encourage” it he was oblivious to what was going on and once he did find out, he did whatever he could to save who he could.
@@keidrinwilliam3085 I wouldn't defend Travis Scott if I were you. Not only was he the man to blame for the AstroWorld incident. But in a past concert he encouraged the crowd to beat up the person in said crowd that stole his shoes.
@@The-Assassin-From-Hell I am so glad someone said it!
@@keidrinwilliam3085 yeah he was so sad about the whole situation that right after the show he went to a party. Lol
Imagine wasting thousands of dollars to travel to an island for a concert, only to end up stuck in a tent with a cheese sandwich.
Imagine going to a concert at a club and being trapped in a burning building with 100 other people
Imagine listening to nirvana for over an hour
A bunch of spoiled rich kids had a day or two of discomfort. Boo hoo 😢
Lol
I'd want blood!
I went to a concert where stage drapes caught fire in the corner somehow. The fire was still small when audience began noticing it. Though the band realized it was there, they continued playing as if it was part of the show while stagehands tried putting it out.
They finally stopped when one of the amps caught fire.
Was it the 2003 great white fire
Who's concert wss it i want to know more
@@SaturdayMorno86 I'm pretty sure he would have mentioned if it was l
Not including The Who concert in Cincinnati? That's a miss...
Technically the concert didn't even started yet when the tragedy occurred. But it is messed up how nobody bothered to the tell the band that people had actually died until after the show.
You mean the concert crush? I saw a video about that
Yes, this should have been on the list. Changes in how tickets are sold came from this. This ended "General admission" at least for indoor shows. Been a long time since I've been to a concert, so don't know if that's still the case
You should do a Redux or a Top 20 list of Concert Tragedies and Mishaps (including Astroworld, the Paris attacks, and Colectiv, etc.)
Good list
The Who in Cincinnati qualified for a 'Fascinating Horror' video.
Add the riverport amphitheater riots
There is a book called Only a Moment Away that was written by a survivor or the station concert fire. The title is in reference to his friend who was standing next to him when the fire started and didn't survive the fire, he describes the whole start of the fire and it is chilling how quickly the venue went from clear to pitch black .
Seeing the Fyre Festival documentary made me feel even worse for the people who didn’t get what they were promised
Every time a rich kid gets scammed an angel gets it's wings.
@@miracleNwonder Except there are people who provided services and were not paid for said services. They even state it in the video, pretty douche move to think people shouldn't be paid for their work.
but justice was served with a 100M lawsuit against billy, and then another lawsuit and then another lawsuit and then 7 more lawsuits then billy was convicted of fraud (and lying to investors) and given 6 years of prison
@@MsLucia4179 yes but they weren't the rich kids. I think we're saying the same thing here
@@miracleNwonder these tickets costed like $500 bucks in reality
How is the Fyre festival number 1 when 100 people died at the Great White show? Obviously 100 deaths is worse than people getting ripped off, don't you think?
And don't forget the Who concert in Cincinnati...how was this tragedy not on the list?????
Possibly as it affected a whole island and it's people, and screwing thousands of fans
How was the damage plan concert not on here
I mean
it's watchmojo they only care for relevancy
Honestly they should be tied.
The security breach in 2021 was Travis Scott’s fault
Edit: it’s not hard to say he gave a fake apology, he promoted people to forcibly come in
There was a very notorious incident that happened in Brasil and it's very haunting even today: "The Kiss nightclub fire" where 240 people died and 630 were left injured because of the stupidity of a single person.
Mid show in a night club, the band vocalist (of a very obscure band) lighted up a sinalizer that set the ceiling foam isolation on fire and burned the whole club. People desperately tried to escape through the front door or back door but security tought it was because of a fight happening inside and that people were trying to get out without paying, so they locked the doors with everyone inside...
240 people died from suffocation, burned or even stomped to death, desperately trying to escape the house they were trapped, most of their bodies were found on the bathroom because people were hopeful that it was an emergency escape. The band survived.
It's extremely heartbreaking watching the story or the trial that happened.
Smath Mouth vs. Bread really piqued my interest - who put those two bands on the same bill? Genius! Then reality set in.
🤣🤣For a second, I thought the same thing!🤣🤣
I thought that too at first lol.
I'm from New England, and I tell you, the Station fire still affects our concerts. It was a decade before I could even get into the 18+ clubs, but I still know what happened and I still find myself checking to make sure they've got the systems in place to prevent that from happening again (sprinklers, no pyro allowed, etc.). Earlier this month I saw Aerosmith at Fenway Park, and they used pyro, which went perfectly fine, but that's because it's a huge outdoor stadium, and even that made me a little nervous. At the House of Blues in Boston, they don't allow pyro, but they'll make a pre-show announcement to look around for exits, just so we don't forget.
How did Limp Bizkit at Woodstock 99 make the list but not Red Hot Chili Peppers Woodstock 99 for playing Fire by Jimi Hendrix when people started burning the place down lol
Korn too, they did a lot of crowd provoking themselves.
Bizkit didn’t even perform that night. They performed the day before all the mayhem started.
Big ups to Nirvana for that one….
@Christopher Bingham True. If they really wanted to punish the audience they should've played Hey Mickey over and over again
I always liked and respected Nirvana. Now I respect them a little more.
@@LilySayyy some Rick astley would’ve done just fine lmao
As someone who grew up in Warwick, Rhode Island the Great White concert fire sight is still a sad place to drive by. It basically just turned into a grave sight with the 100 white crosses just standing there.
I can think of 2 concerts that end tragically that should have been in the honorable mentions. The Who concert of 1979 that left 11 dead. And the Rolling Stones concert of 1969 at Altamont Speedway.

Roger Daltrey actually visited friends and relatives of the people killed in that 1979 concert recently. There's video of a recent Who concert in the same city, where the band gave their condolences and dedicated a long version of Love Reign O'er Me to the concert victims and showed photos of the victims during the song.
@@mikeshaffer4912 Damn, thanks really cool.
There's also the Roskilde Festival disaster where 9 people died in a crowd crush while Pearl Jam was performing.

I heard the Britney Spears weed issue was due to fear the people controlling her may take away her visitation with her boys if weed somehow got into her system.
And because she was protecting her sons
Yes she was so scared because she would get drugged tested. I can’t for her tell all.
That is understandable.

Bloodstock 2009. Cradle of Filth played and a member of the audience threw gobstoppers at then. The huge, cricket ball sized ones that weigh about a pound each. One hit the guitarist hit square in the back, leading to a hospital visit and the set ending there and then. One just missed hitting another member in the face. Another almost hit a disabled fan sitting in a wheelchair on the side of the stage. Cradle of Filth refused to play bloodstock for a decade after the incident.

I bet the concert where Dimebag Darryl was shot onstage could've been on this list. The band was reportedly unable to continue the gig after that.
yea when another guy mentioned in comments i was thinking that, i think they didn't cos it would trivialise the event in a video called "concerts ruined by morons" yes they talked about shows where people in the audience died but DD was som1 loved by millions
Well no shit darrel literally died
I can’t believe you think that the Fyre festival ranks higher than The Station Night Club fire, Astroworld concert or even Limp Bizkit at Woodstock! Also that the fires set by us fans during RHCP at Woodstock or Dimebag Darryl being shot in the face don’t even rank in this list at all!!!
This.
it’s watchmojo what did you think
Dimebag is in another episode
look i gotta give it to nickle back. managing to hold out for aslong as they did under that kind of treatment and then still giving that horrible audience one last chance to behave is something most musicians would not do.
I was armed and ready when I went to Hellfest this year and they had Guns and Roses playing one night, and Metallica the next.
Also, funny how often Axel Rose has had "throat problems". But we are talking about a guy who made Canadians riot, TWICE. That's a talent right there.
Travis Scott knew what was happening. He made sure his pregnant girlfriend (one of the Jenners) got out.
You should’ve seen Phil anselmo on the last few shows of pantera. He was so wasted that he was sitting on stage leaning up to monitors screaming, he wouldn’t even look at the crow. Dime and vinnie didn’t look impressed. I knew that they were gonna breakup soon after, and they did. It was like watching a plane crash
Sorry, but I don't feel the Frye festival should be ranked "worse" then 100 people at a concert dying in a fire.
You had the Station fire in Rhode Island, how do you ignore the Who tragedy in Cincinnati? On December 3, 1979, one door at Riverfront Coleseum were opened early leading to trampling of fans. Eleven people were killed, but the Who knew nothing about it until after the show. This incident changed Cincinnati ordinance about certain styles of tickets, and was featured on an episode if WKRP In Cincinnati

Nirvana was reasonable, a bunch of us would definitely not take kindly to that type of behavior. It’s completely uncalled for.
November 8th, 2004 in Cincinnati. Headbanger's Ball Tour. A stabbing takes place, leading to two being stabbed, including lead singer of Suffocate Faster. The remainder of the show, a performance by Cradle of Filth, was canceled.
Kurt Cobian was a badass.
Never forget....
It wasn't just limp Bizkit, Korn had a lot to contribute to all the bullsh*t that happened in Woodstock '99. The blame was shifted to limp Bizkit because things started to escalate from that point on and korn pulled themselves out of the matter and blamed them. Also, red hot chilli peppers were responsible (atleast partly) because they decided to do a cover of Jimi Hendrix's fire, after which the crowd started burning the stage.
TBF, the whole blame really goes to the smooth-brained crowd...
@@ProcyonDei The ones who do have the blame for Woodstock 99 are those who organized the event. Seriously! Who had the real stupid idea of doing it in an abandoned military airfield? Where there's no real instalations to speak for to support such a high number of people! There's a reason Festivals grounds do have a capacity limit just like any event venue! And if they exceeded the capacity of the venue, book another night! But don't ever go to abandoned open places to do Festivals

The Travis Scott and the Astroworld tragedy wasn’t just ruined by morons. It was an a poorly planned out, unmanaged, disaster that was made worse by Travis Scott’s irresponsible behavior and his choice of how he performs.
I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if this ends his career
It won’t
If it doesn't end his career it'll definitely be a dark spot on it.
I won't. As long as he's making someone rich, they'll continue to allow him to perform. If people go see him after this, then they are culpable.
Travis Scott isn’t at fault. If you’ve ever heard of a crush before then you will know why. Crushes have happened throughout history because of bad management and security and this is more then likely what happened. If anything we should be blaming the people at the back who kept pushing. (Also about him not stopping the consent it’s possible that he just wasn’t informed about the seriousness of the injury. With the amount of lights and stuff during that show I wouldn’t be surprised if Travis wasn’t even able to see the crowd properly)
@@freememewhore5359 great excuse making for someone who was no doubt culpable in a tragedy ... but you are an american so, no surprise there
Number 1 should have been when Dimebag Darrell of Damage Plan and Pantera was shot on stage. I would say that ruined a concert.
Are we really gonna just glaze over how much influence Travis Scott actually had over what happened? He was telling the crowd noone told him to stop. But sure "noone knows why" watchmojo, trash move.
i attended a "ruined" concert, for the 2019's knotfest in mexico city, on the main stage Evanescence was gonna play just before slipknot would close the night. I arrived 20mins before evanescence was scheduled to play. just after finishing watching BFMV on another stage. there i waited. 30mins, nothing.... 1 hour.... nothing, then there was talks about some problem that needed to be fixed.... 90mins, still nothing. apparently the problem was some people had toppled down the barrier separating "general" from "preferente" and a bunch of people stormed to the "preferente" zone. the organizers took so much time to take action, giving no information.
3 hours after evanescence was supposed to play they finally cancelled the show and told us to go to the exit (in the most formal way possible).
well some people were furious and stayed at the stage area. they jump the fences and started destroying gear. ripping cables, and stuff. they started a fire with chairs and stuff at the espectating area. and threw cables and stuff into the fire. at the end they even threw evanescence drumset into the fire.
this was just the first day of a 2-day event. on the 2nd day. they opened access to the festival grounds 4 hours after the initial schedule (they did announce it on social media). all of the early bands were cancelled because of this, some of the later ones too.
Number 3: people died
Number 2: people died
Number 1: people didn’t get a concert
Uh what???
Votes by people on a website, I thought people knew this about WatchMojo lists.
I still cry for the tragedy of the rich kids at Fyre Festival. x'D
Lmao I know right, much worse than the 100 people losing their lives at the Great White show
the real tragedy is being forced to listen to nirvana's shitty music for more than an hour
Yeah that shouldn't have been number one.
I don't care about the visitors but the island workers and vendors sound like they got a raw deal
Most of those people weren’t even rich
Crowd crushes are my worst fear, whether it be during a concert, or when people are leaving, that's why I stay in my seat as long as possible until the crowd thins out.
I hate the Limp Bizkit gets a bad name for Woodstock. LB has to put on the best show possible every time they perform…
Woodstock 99 debauchery was more that these kids were hungry, dehydrated and broke by the second day, because of the greedy promoters.
LBs big song at the time was Break Stuff. They kicked all kinds of ass during their show.
Travis Scott SHOULD be on this list. He could have stopped the concert at any point. "Exactly who is responsible for this tragedy is hard to say". It's Travis Scott's fault. Not hard to say.
Yes, definitely agree.
Umm, he was?!!!?
@@tsquaredtim no fucking shit.
Was there, definitely not
That's pretty clever Kurt. Hopefully the crowd learned their lesson. also kinda feel like Altamont should have gotten an honorable mention, the morons being hell's angel being hired as security.
I don't know if it counts but the Arianna Grande concert in Manchester, becoming known as the Manchester Arena Bombing when a suicide bomber detonated, killing 23 and injuring 1017. It took place 22nd May, 2017 as people left the arena after the concert. VL
Did anyone else read the title as “Top 10 concerts ruined by Mormons” at first? I had to give it a second read.
hahahahahahah I almost did
Donny Osmond concert destroyed by milk drinking crazed missionary Mormons.
Damn. For me loving all different kinds of music, in all different languages from all over the world, I never knew that this happened at all to any band that we have all heard of over the ears. And for me loving music, well, I am a Mexican-American, meaning that I was born here in the United States of America, but my family comes from Mexico, and while I do love all kinds of music from all over the world, my 2 most favorite music genres from from here in America, and they are both, rock and roll, while the other genre in heavy metal, and well, while I do like and respect modern music from Latino artists, either if they are Mexican or not, well, mostly because of my dad, my number one favorite genre of Mexican music is none other than mariachi. And well, my dad and I are both, musicians of mariachi music, here in America, and well, while my dad was born and raised in Mexico, he moved here a long time ago, and then met my mom, and my mom and my dad, had both my brother, then I was born, 8 years later after my brother was born, and if I am being honest, mostly because my dad and I are both mariachis, if my dad and I were to have a mariachi gig, and if we were to have an opening act, or even an opening gig, either if we were the opening act or not, I honestly don’t think, that anyone, either if they are the opening act or not, I honestly don’t think that anyone around deserves to have something like that happen to them, just like what happened at all 10 of those concerts, here in this top 10 video.
Fred Durst didn't tell the crowd to break things. I was 15 at the show and he never said "hey! Break things and tear down the wall!"
In his defense, he claimed to not know what was going on.
I read somewhere Britney's walk off had to do with not wanting to test positive for marijuana and lose seeing her kids because she was drug tested as part of her cconservatorship. Not sure how true that is, but it wouldn't surprise me if it was true.
The great white bar fire should definitely be number one on this list over a hundred people died in less then fifteen minutes. I watched the entire video that photographer shot it didn't cut out it's one continuous shot video from when it started to the entire place being completely engulfed in flames took less then fifteen minutes to happen and I'm sure alot of those people didn't die quickly which is terrible.
Also I'm pretty sure The Who played a show in the seventies and didn't have time for a sound check earlier in the day so they did before the show started with the crowd right outside and the thousands of people waiting outside thought the show was starting so they rushed the doors and multiple people where trampled to death but no single person was to blame for that I don't think otherwise that should be on this list too.
At the Beastie Boys "Free Tibet" concert in Golden Gate Park (San Francisco), The Fugees played the most disappointing set I've ever heard. They were so high, they couldn't even get a song off. It was pathetic. I'm surprised it's not talked about more. The Red Hot Chili Peppers were next up, and completely rocked, redeeming the concert and lifting the vibe.
We had The Kinks fly out to Australia from England, the first set was by an unknown group Daddycool who sang the opening number Eagle Rock, they sang a few more songs and left the stage, then the Kinks came on, STONED DRUNK, tried to sing, ha, what a joke they were booed off-stage, then everybody started shouting Daddycool Daddycool in unison,
they walked back on and the rest was history in the making
I remember the idiots who rushed the stage at a concert in Detroit given by Rage Against the Machine, that concert 3 people died,37 injured (including me,I got hit on the head by someone throwing a full cup of beer, which I ended up getting stitches for),it got so bad, the local cops shut the show down.
Some people hyped up the Astroworld incident as the worst because of social media. Those ppl obviously don’t know the history of concert mishaps
Thank you
I still think it's funny that the guy who danced on the ambulance claimed the reason people were pissed at him was because he was "Being cancelled by the woke mob"
That part
What angers me is the kid who was killed at Travis Scott's festival. I'm a grown man and even I am uneasy at crowded festivals. I can't imagine being a CHILD and then your father brings you into a huge crowd. His father should've been charged with negligence.
no, scott should have been charged
I agree! That was no place for a child
#10 -- They REALLY wanted that song to be a sports anthem for All-Star games didn't they?
The Altamont Stones show & The Who's Cincinnati tragedy could easily have made this list 😞
Watchmojo Top 10 Concert Tragedies and Mishaps
I'm so old that when I saw "Smash Mouth vs Bread," I thought, "Yeah, that was a bill bound to provoke disaster."
I’ve seen Bon Jovi, Passion Pitt, Heart, Katy Perry, Chicago, Eddie Money, P!NK, Creedence Clearwater Revisted, Patt Benatar, Marie Osmond & Donny Osmond, (Marc Almond, Berlin, Blondie, Thomas Dolby & Adam Ant together),
Elle King, Heart & Joan Jett concerts but I’ve never seen anyone do that
Did you forget the Who concert that had people trampled at the entrance?
Imagine being that one group of people or person who ruins it for everyone
that type of person would be proud and brag about it
Nobody will ever forget the 2021 AstroWorld incident. RIP to all the victims and my condolences to the families of the deceased. I’m surprise Travis didn’t get arrested and sent to prison(for manslaughter charges, resulting in the mosh pits) isn’t that like 25 to life in h town or something? How Travis got away without any arrest whatsoever is surprising(despite getting called out on social media, and on the news)
Edit: and don’t even get me started on his fake apology, my five-year-old niece could make a better apology to Travis
One of the most terrifying parts of the footage of the station, nightclub fire, was when the cameraman ran to the back door after getting out of the building, loud sirens heard in the background from the fire department coming, and he gets to the door and screams, “ Anybody inside?!” There’s no response. However, hundreds of people are still trapped in the burning building.
Concerts seem too stressful 😅
I really thought that Great White pyrotechnics would be #1.
Number one is beyond false advertisement. Just like what Brian Griffin did to Quagmire
You forgot the "Well, thanks to your lame ass security, I'm going home!"
The Who in Cincinnati? The Stones in Altamont? You guys seriously dropped the ball on this one
i am surprised altamont didnt make the list
Ruined by some moron who thought using the HA as security was a great idea . . .

what's with these people? do you lose your humanity when you freaking go to concerts?!?!
The foam in the club during the great white concert wasn’t soundproofing foam. It was literally egg crate foam from a packaging store down the road. If you don’t know much about actual acoustic foam, it is rated to be fire resistant. Egg crate foam burns fast and it burns hot. And it gives off a thick black smoke that is full of hydrogen cyanide.
The Montreal crowd's behaviour was insanely unjustified
That's just metalheads for ya.
@@jerrumite4425 I've been to a lot of metal concerts, and most of us metalheads don't act like that. Even in the mosh pits, if someone falls down, everyone stops until the person is helped back up.
@@davidfrischknecht8261 I mean, I was just being snarky but if you say so
Like, did anyone think to just get refunds?
And Guns 'n Roses is blaimed for this?! They didn't have any part of the riots! They didn't need to get banned!
Why they do Nickelback like that. Someone hit dude dead in the back of the head with that water. Probably would have left too. Was a good throw though. Was fun to watch. Great video
Pretty regular thing when it comes to Dave Mustaine (Megadeth), it seems.
totally worth buying tickets to nickelback, so you can throw your shit at them
There's a similar event to number 2 in Brazil, a night club called "kiss" had more then 200 deaths during a concert with a unfortunate flare gun
Same in Buenos Aires, with a place called Cromagnon. 196 people died that night.
