ITM's ultimate disaster gigs

Privileged as we are in Australia with wave after wave of great gigs, festivals and events, there always seems to be an abysmal gig around the corner. And we’ve all been there, whether it be a particularly shit DJ set, or instead a club vibe that turns ugly and descends into disaster. And then there are the really bad moments in dance music… So here at ITM, we decided it was well time to swing the spotlight on the nastiest of those disastrous gigs.

How bad is bad? We’re talking DJs getting thrown behind bars and roughed up by the local heavies. International guests being too blotto to even stand up at the decks. Patrons being permanently blinded by overzealous lasers. And in possibly the very worst example of horrific nightclub experiences, a punter taking a dump on the dancefloor. This is the sort of stuff that therapy can never put right again.

Have a look inside ITM’s Snap! gallery below, and join us as we go count down through the worst of the worst.

"18. Although it%u2019s difficult to believe, Austrian DJ Roman Zerano took to the stage at 2004%u2019s DMC finals and bombed spectacularly when he spent his entire 3 minute time slot cueing up his second track. A truly epic fail if we%u2019ve ever seen o

Carl Cox in Venezuela would have been well scary. Guess that's what you get when your techno is too 'bangin'.

Good Vibrations Sydney 2009 - Fat Boy Slim.... What an absolute disaster... Pouring down with rain, the crowd had stuck it out for most of the day in the cold waiting to see Fat Boy Slim on his "last tour ever". He started the set, and the crowd was pu

Future Music Festival 2007 - Brisbane - good line up - fucked set up. The sound level was terrible, it was done soooo poorly. In future entertainments defense, it was their 1st future music & they were rookies to the layout of doomben race course, 08 & 09

Future music festival. Terrible. Hard to believe anything could be so badly set up. And to top it off a female friend of mine saw a guy being bashed by a group; went to help him get away and they punched her in the face too :(
