Chaos ensued after rapper Lil Baby, the headliner for a hip-hop concert at the PNE Amphitheatre in Vancouver, did not perform because he was sick.

According to a Vancouver Police Department (VPD) news release, fights broke out inside and outside the BreakOut Festival venue, and rioters started damaging property after it was announced that Lil Baby would not be performing.
