The final free concert from Future's "Salute The Fans" mini-tour was moved last night after fans in Los Angeles became rowdy while waiting for wristbands. The rapper had tweeted "The Roxy" early in the morning, as he had at three previous dates. The crowd began piling up outside the venue's doors at 9 a.m. (more than 15 hours before the shows was scheduled to start) and as the line became longer and more raucous, police shut the whole thing down.
"Future will no longer be appearing at The Roxy tonight," the venue tweeted around 7 p.m. "Please follow @1Future for details."
Fortunately the rapper and his team had connections and fixed up the situation quickly. Future didn't post the update on Twitter but rather his Instagram, letting fans know that the show would be moved the the House of Blues, nearby on Sunset Boulevard.
Police shut down the portion of the street housing The Roxy at around 2 p.m. due to crowds pouring out into the street and wouldn't reopen the stretch until 5 p.m.
Despite the disruptions earlier in the day, it seemed that the show went off without a hitch when fans moved over the the House of Blues. Future had played three previous free dates in major markets Atlanta, Chicago and New York, all of which went according to plan. The four-date tour has been in support of his album Dirty Sprite 2, which is expected to be at no. 1 on the Billboard 200 when the official numbers are released this weekend.
The rapper doesn't have any other dates planned at the moment, but we imagine that his next gigs will require a few bucks to get it.
