Inclement weather cut short a raucous performance at the East River Pool Parties, where fans climbed onto the stage during the latter part of a Black Lips set.
Several fans were visibly restrained after they broached the press barricade at the front of the stage, and according to one music blogger, threw a ukulele at the band’s bassist.
The Black Lips vowed to play one more song to calm everyone down, but streaks of lighting branched across the clouds alarmed organizers enough to cancel the show and send everyone home.Until next week.
