26 Concerts That Were Abruptly Shut Down
There's nothing that'll put a damper on your mood like a concert you have been planning to attend for months getting cancelled. You've taken off work, made travel plans, coordinated with friends and even planned the perfect outfit to wear... and then it's all swept out from under you!
But what's even worse is when the concert is not cancelled in advance, but shut down on the day of the show––or even during the show.
From technical difficulties to physical violence (and everything in between), concerts can get cancelled for a plethora of different reasons, and it can happen to anyone. Artists as big as Britney Spears, Kanye West and Nicki Minaj have all been forced to cancel concerts at the very last minute.
Below, check out 26 concerts that were shut down abruptly.
