Olympic Metal

The 2010 Olympics in Vancouver are more than just games. A free outdoor concert series called LiveCity has been scheduled around the Winter Games for fans entertainment.



One of the most anticipated acts was the performance by Alexisonfire, a post-hard-core-metal band originally from Canada. It was so anticipated that the crowd got a little out of control.

A crowd surge that caused a barricade to break at an Alexisonfire performance during the Olympics in Vancouver resulted in 19 people being sent to hospital. The incident occured at the start of the band's set and the concert ended immediately. Fortunately, only one person suffered serious injuries, that being a compound leg fracture. The band was performing as part of LiveCity, a series of free outdoor concerts in Vancouver during the Winter Games.

Shit, one good crowd surge has to go and ruin the concert for everybody. Sorry I missed it.

Here is the video for their hit song "The Northern":

Fuck "silent disco". These boys don't disco. They only rock.
