Well I'm sure someone will have more details but Kaskade rocked down Hollywood Boulevard with a DJ set up on a truck yesterday to promote a film premiering at the Chinese Theatre. Understandably, word spread so fast they had way too many people show up and it caused somewhat of a cluster f**k... You can see by the gradual tweets Kaskade made yesterday, that it may not have gone exactly to plan :-)

Kaskade is kind of a big deal in terms of house music though isn't he? Not surprising that so many people would show up to a free show...

Reminds of when Dave Chapelle did an impromtu free show in portland and they had to stop it due to the crowd size - no riots there though...

Yeah totally, I've listened to his stuff for about 8 years, I imagine he's got a huge following by now right, particularly as he's gone a little bit more mainstream in that time too. He only gave a few hours notice about the gig via Twitter, but I suspect he under-estimated his following and the power of Word-by-Twitter :-)

hahaha...thats a great idea...I actually liked that 2nd song he played.
WestCoastAvenger 11:25 PM - 28 July, 2011
it's a good idea but his biggest mistake was not getting a permit.. when your famous in LA you can do pretty much anything, but you just have to play by the rules..

why would we "hate" on this guy?
-he's a legit producer, playing a free show, on a flat-bed truck!
too bad the crowd got out of hand and they shut him down early...
