A riot occurred at the Vancouver Breakout Festival on Sunday after it was announced that headliner Lil Baby had canceled his performance.
Social media videos show festivalgoers destroying tents, throwing garbage and breaking equipment.
“Following an announcement that the headliner at BreakOut Festival would not be performing, fans turned their disappointment into anger, doing significant damage to the PNE Amphitheatre and parts of Hastings Park,” festival organizers said in a statement, according to Complex. “At this time our first priority is for the safety and wellbeing of our staff as many were deeply affected by the reaction of guests and behavior that ensued.”
