AC/DC Concert Turns Ugly

posted Feb 25, 2009 at 8:41 PM by Diamond Oz.  (23 Comments)

An AC/DC concert in Norway ended in a near riot on Wednesday as fans clashed with police.

According to Budstikka.no there were severe problems for fans trying to get into the venue for the show as long traffic jams caused many people to be late for the start of the concert. But then the real trouble started after the concert at the Telenor Arena near Oslo when more static traffic and a lack of public transport left a number of fans stranded.

Reports suggest that fans turned on the police as the transport problems worsened, throwing bottles at patrol cars and tearing down crowd control fences.

Police apparently blamed poorly organised transport systems and frustrated alcohol-fuelled rock fans, but despite the trouble they made no arrests.

but why in the hell are you blaming AC/DC, btbmfav??? blame the fuking venue for the problems with the concert hall. besides, the people that live there should know the problems related to the concert hall and should have expected it. just a bunch of intoxicated and loaded fans fighting with cops, nothing new.

Of course it's not the bands fault, people started the riot. It's sort of odd that the cops didn't make any arrests, but then again I have to agree with why they didn't. Agreed with post 9.

Yeah they may have been doing the same thing for years now. But think about what bands wouldn't exist without their inspiration.

Gotta say that it seems like a really stupid idea to get drunk Vikings angry. No matter what music they listen to.
