Mac Miller Concert Ends in Violence - South End, MA - The Pittsburgh rapper's concert at City Hall had its fair share of fighting although no arrests were made. The evolution of Boston’s annual free summer hip-hop show at City Hall Plaza in Government Center continued on Saturday, as a young, sometimes rowdy crowd of several thousand welcomed.
WINCHESTER (CBS) – Winchester police said they are disappointed that four of their officers refused to board an MBTA commuter rail train filled with rowdy passengers earlier this month.
As the train approached the Wedgemere station Aug. 6, the conductor asked police for help with some unruly riders who had just left a rap concert in Boston.

One of the officers allegedly berated the conductor for stopping in Winchester, and not another town, to deal with the problem.
Lt. Peter MacDonnell said he is particularly upset with the lead officer, a 26-year veteran of the force, who argued with the conductor, left the platform and went back to his cruiser.
Passengers had to wait 45 minutes for MBTA police to arrive on the scene.

Many of the passengers were returning from a free Mac Miller concert in Boston, where earlier in the day several fights between concert-goers broke out in City Hall Plaza.
Lt. MacDonnell told WBZ NewsRadio 1030 that the investigation is still ongoing and should be wrapped up by next week.

This year, the Boston Urban Music Festival held their annual free concert on August 6th, 2011. The free concert is traditionally geared towards the young adult audience- last year the headliner was Wiz Khalifa. Khalifa ended up being chased from the stage by fans because of a lack of crowd control, so this year, the Festival decided to use a less known artist- Mac Miller. Miller is Khalifa’s fellow Pittsburgh native who shares the same Rostrum Records label. However, it doesn’t seem like this solved the problem. No, Miller wasn’t chased from the stage, but he threatened to leave it at least three times…
Mac Miller Concert In La
The concert was scheduled to be from 5:00-8:00 p.m., but fans started lining up at Boston’s City Hall Plaza as early as one o’ clock. The concert was free- so there were about 30,000 people in attendance. Bodies were packed together, and the most crowd members could see of Mac was a small glimpse here and there, unless you were one of the lucky few who found unobstructed views. The crowd was restless, and the hot and humid summer air combined with the body heat of everyone around you made you feel like you were suffocating. The opening acts had a tough job trying to please such a restless, rowdy audience, but beat boxer Phunk Phenomenon and MC Flem, who performed a Bruins remix version of Khalifa’s “Black and Yellow” successfully entertained the crowd. Next, Moe Pope, a hip hop artist from Boston, performed. Unfortunately, the crowd had gotten so rowdy that Moe Pope was forced to stop in the middle of his act. Crowd members were throwing bottles at each other and at the stage, and multiple fights broke out. People attempted to crowd surf, and most ended up on the pavement. No authority stepped in- but concert-goers were warned not to do it again.
Then, the final opener, a young female vocalist called Goapele, performed. Not a person in the crowd could hear her over the booing. She was basically ignored as the crowd hollered and chanted for the headliner, Mac Miller. Bottles, most of them filled, continued to be thrown in the air, to the point where people were breaking out the umbrellas on the clear summer night. The crowd was too big to control- and only about five police officers could be seen at one time, unable to really do anything about the riot-like situation.
When Mac Miller finally came onstage, it was about 7:00 pm. The crowd had long awaited the moment, but it wasn’t all that satisfying listening to Miller’s biggest hit “Donald Trump” when you’re covered in orange soda that someone tossed on you, standing in a crowd of 30,000 rowdy, disrespectful, and intoxicated teenagers.
