A riot broke out at Trash Talk’s free L.A. show on Wednesday night when fans were turned away by security after the venue reached full capacity.

A mass of fans rushed the gates of the Nike Launch Party during the band’s set after being denied entry to the show. Riot police arrived and reportedly began pepper-spraying the crowd.

“GOT PEPPERED SPRAYED THREW A MD STILL SNUCK IN. RAN STRAIGHT TO THE PIT!” a fan tweeted.
