Academy 1 (Manchester Academy)
16th July 1993

This article taken from NME describes an incident when House of Pain, Cypress Hill and Funkdoobiest played The Academy in 1993.

Apparently a brawl occurred when Academy security ejected band and crew members from the venue resulting in a fracas involving the bands, local youths and security. The mêlée caused £12,000 worth of damage to a tour bus.

With thanks to Sean Fintan Morgan.

“I went to that. Remember a fight breaking out in the crowd but we didn't really pay any mind. The dancing looked like fighting in '93. "Slam" and all that.”

“I was at that gig. I saw who threw the bricks and launched the scaffolding pole through the tour bus window... I had to duck as it went past. I was also at the International gig where Everlast was bottled off the stage...
Other than that, it was a good show.”
