The website says it is Sold Out, so you might have to buy from scalpers or craigslist.

Have fun tonight all you Hardcore Dirties!
Enjoy the show and avoid the glowstick alien kids.
Here's to hoping you hear Juanita!

Wow, biggest clusterfuck I've ever seen in my life.

Dear Los Angeles,

We are terribly sorry. Inglewood PD made the decision to shut down the event tonight much to our astonishment and yours. There are many questions to answer; rest assured you will not be left hanging. Please check back soon. The show must go on...

busy p got hit in the leg by a stray bullet?
gossip going wild right now.

I've read that on Twitter, also. But then again, it's Twitter. There's a lot of stuff flying around there.

I feel bad for the people here that made the trek.

Biggest Effing let down of my freakin' meaningless life. Total Shite! A bunch of Effing Aholes just ruined it. The forum SUCKS!!!

On the face of it, it sounds like the organisers just didn't provide the necessary staff to ensure this event passed off safely. Trying to do it on the cheap and max out their profits, no doubt.

What idiots.

I often think we are over the top with our Health and Safety legislation in the UK - x number of marshalls for events, x number of security guards, x arrangements for car-parking etc. or the event doesn't happen - but it's at times like this when I realise that actually it serves a good purpose.

I hope you guys sue, frankly.

Don't blame the people attending. As much as I wanted to punch everyone with a pacifier (so basically, everyone) in the face, this clusterfuck rests squarely on the shoulders of the promoter.

Clusterfuck is really the only appropriate word. Everything about this event went wrong, from the minute you arrived at the venue. I won't be surprised if this puts HARD out of business, what with refunding all the tickets (i assume), paying the artists and paying the venue. Not to mention the serious damage to HARD's reputation. This is a class A disaster.
