Stones gig causes 50km traffic jam
Fans just don’t mind creating havoc in the city when their favorite music band come partying to town. The kickoff of the Rolling Stones’ European Tour opened to rave reviews, a big crowd and a massive traffic jam. Some 33,000 screaming fans showed up for the show in the town of Werchter, but when Mick Jagger started off with Strt Me Up, some fans were still shuffling for position on the grounds after being stuck for hours in a 50Km traffic jam. The reason being – it seemed that the whole town was headed in just one direction – Rolling Stones’. The ‘A Bigger Bang’ tour will feature 30 shows across Europe including performance in major cities like Belgrade, Serbia and in St. Petersburg, Russia which the band has never visited. Events and shows by such leading bands are not just events but a time of celebration for fans who love hearing their favorite bands in action. But the other cities should take a lesson to avoid accidents and traffic jams or else some fans could end paying hefty car repairs charges than for the tickets of the concert.
