Akon's Sydney gig goes off incident free

October 28, 2009

A Sydney concert given by rapper Akon as part of his Konvict Tour went off without a hitch.

The rapper was at the centre of mayhem the night before in Melbourne when the crowd turned ugly and 18 people were injured. Akon jumped into the audience in a bid to calm the crowd after brawls between rival gangs broke out, his manager claimed.

But the Sydney concert was incident-free. Acer Arena bolstered security, with manager David Humphreys reassuring fans the venue had taken every precaution to prevent an incident.

Akon manager Dwayne Cross said of the Melbourne melee, "There was a group of individuals who spoiled the night for everyone. At every show, Akon jumps into the crowd to sing to his fans and last night he saw this as a way to take the focus off those individuals and bring it back to the music."

Akon asked the crowd to stop brawling, telling them it had taken him two years to get a visa to return to Australia due to his criminal record.

The Sydney concert may have been incident free but it was the worst concert i have ever witnessed!
T-pain didnt even attempt to lip sync his songs choosing instead to insist we all "put our hands up" 3 billion times in leau of actually singing..
The DJs were just total wankers talking themselves up instead of playing or mixing music and there was faar too much of them..
I along with atleast a couple of hundred other people walked out before Akon arrived..
If i had of actually paid for my ticket i would have been demanding my money back.
TOTAL FAIL!
