Lollapalooza Fans Lose It For Rage

According to IDontLikeYouInThatWay, Rage Against the Machine performed at Lollapalooza on Saturday and fans got crazy. An unknown amount of fans without tickets rushed pass the security fence. Many fans were seriously injured including security personnel. The banned stopped their set several time, pleading with the fans to back up. MTV reported:

The reunited group opened with a trio of their bombastic best, including
"Testify" and "Bulls on Parade," setting off multiple circle pits in the crowd
and sending a stream of bodies - which appeared to be equally comprised of
crowd-surfers and panicked fans trying to escape the crush - over the barricade
in front of the stage. By the third song, there was a steady, at times frenzied,
rush by hundreds of fans on the east side of the stage attempting to leave the
area. The relentless fury of the music, combined with the sense of chaos in the
crowd, made for some tense moments. Concertgoers trying to go up a set of cement
steps were pushed backwards or blocked from exiting as a bull rush of male fans
barreled down the steps, knocking people over like dominoes. The crowd surge got
so bad that De la Rocha stopped the show on three separate occasions, pleading
with fans to take a step back to avoid crushing the audience members up
front...It was unknown at press time how many injuries occurred during the show,
but an MTV reporter near the front of the stage witnessed at least a dozen
dazed, limping and panicked fans being escorted to the medical tent, including
one who was taken out on a backboard."
