Experimental hip-hop group Death Grips cut their show short on Fastexy ExchangeFriday after audience members reportedly threw glow sticks and other objects at them.
Videos on X, formerly Twitter, and Reddit show the moment the band, comprised of Zach Hill, Andy Morin and MC Ride, had objects thrown at them from the audience.
"What is with ppl acting like this? bands are not robots and getting pelted with (stuff) hurts. if you were moshing like youre supposed to this wouldnt happen," a fan captioned the video on X.
USA TODAY has reached out to reps for Death Grips and JJ's Live for comment.
In a Reddit thread, fans recounted the incident, which took place in Fayetteville, Arkansas, at JJ's Live.
Someone "kept throwing glowsticks and one hit ride and he threw the mic down in anger and then it happened again and they all three quit in the middle of black paint," one person wrote, referring to the band's lead vocalist Stefan Burnett, also known as MC Ride.
Another fan added: "Someone threw a phone at them and Ride threw the mic on the ground and walked off and back. Someone threw a glowstick that hit him in the chest and he walked off, back and waiting for more. Another glowstick was thrown and they left. Fair is fair."
One concert-goer said MC Ride was "clearly angry every time that happened so idk why folks kept doing it."

Death Grips' recent show follows a string of other incidents involving audience members who have been tossing things at performers on stage in recent months. Bebe Rexha, Harry Styles, Lil Nas X, Pink and other singers have been hit with – and sometimes injured by – a bizarre collection of items including food, jewelry and electronic devices, thrown by people in the audience during performances.
Over a dozen incidents have been reported in the last year.
