Celebrity DJ's Twitter Block Party Invite Leads To Chaos, Riots Outside Mann’s Chinese Theatre

An invitation to attend a block party from a popular DJ on Twitter ended with an out-of-control crowd of over 2,000 people swarming on Hollywood Boulevard, where they clashed with riot police before the street was closed.

Bottles were thrown, cars were vandelised and hundreds of people refused to leave the area after they were unable to attend an exclusive screening at the famous Grauman’s Chinese Theatre (previously known as Mann’s).

Many of the crowd were responding to a tweet sent by American DJ and record producer Kaskade, where he invited fans to attend a free show outside the theatre.

The message was heavily shared.
