Chaos erupted during Travis Scott’s concert in Melbourne on Wednesday, leaving at several people injured.
According to reports, over 55,000 fans packed into the Marvel Stadium for the second night of the rapper’s Circus Maximus tour. Clips shared online show the moment a swarm of crazed fans attempted to jump the barriers from a seated section of the stadium to rush toward the mosh pit. Security guards can be seen tripping and body slamming some fans.
One fan was reportedly fly-kicked by a security guard and subsequently suffered a seizure. The violent clash has since gone viral on social media. 9News reports that the young man was treated by St John Ambulance. The news outlet also notes that he was one of five fans taken to the hospital from the concert that night.
“While most [fans] behaved appropriately, some were denied entry or ejected for misconduct,” said Marvel Stadium spokesperson Jay Allen. He added that there was a post-event debrief with security contractors following the incident. No arrests were made.

More On Travis Scott’s Concerts:
Travis and his team have been focused on creating a safer environment for his fans at his shows following the tragic events of the Astroworld Festival in 2021. As previously reported, the festival turned tragic when a crowd surge led to the deaths of ten people and injuries to many others.
It was a wild night in Houston, where fans packed the venue, eager for a good time. As Travis took the stage, the energy was electric, but things spiraled out of control. People got crushed, and the chaos was palpable. The scene was heartbreaking and chaotic, with emergency services scrambling to assist those in distress while the show continued for far too long.
In the aftermath, Travis faced a storm of lawsuits and backlash over safety concerns. In response, he took a step back to focus on accountability. He offered refunds for tickets and collaborated with organizations to improve safety at future events. Additionally, he expressed his condolences and grief for the victims, demonstrating that he was taking the situation seriously. It was a tough lesson learned, but he has implemented more measures to ensure such a tragedy doesn’t happen again.
Scott has not yet commented on this latest incident.
