Rioting Fans

While Tiesto, "The Picasso of Trance", might not usually fall under the spectrum of topics Culture System would cover; concert riots, fleeing thieves, and no-show DJs would catch anybodys attention.

When Tiesto failed to show up at a show in Bahrain, the audience went on a rampage and tore up the venue, attacked the opening acts, and looted equipment until the police arrived, according to a local paper. Tiesto refused to perform because organizers tried to pay him in Bahraini Dinars, the paper said.

But Tiesto says the event promoter tried to run of with all of the ticket money, and was still stuck at his hotel by the time the police showed up at the venue.
