Santa Barbara shut down Porter Robinson’s set: “Inciting a Riot”

PR01

Porter Robinson learnt on Saturday night that clearly, not everybody is an EDM fan as his headlining set at Santa Barbara’s Matador Music Festival got cut short 35 minutes by the local police.  When Porter did what seems to be the proper thing and let the ravers know that the show would be ending in five minutes, and that he’d be playing his very own Language as the last track, the Santa Barbara police informed him that he was “inciting a riot” and that they would be seizing his equipment as “evidence.”

What the actual fuck?

It’s unfortunate situations like this that keep creating the wedge that is constantly dividing fans who are trying to enjoy themselves, and the authorities who are trying to keep them safe.
