A$AP Rocky plays chaotic debut London show

Harlem rapper's set ends with stage invasion

A$AP Rocky‘s debut London show ended in a stage invasion last night (March 20), with fans clambering to get close to the hotly-tipped rapper.

The Harlem rapper’s gig at Cargo had been full of chaotic scenes as he stagedived into the crowd a number of times. Fans had queued for over two hours before Rocky and his A$AP Mob took to the stage at the Shoreditch venue, with some eager people scaling the walls to get in.

Those who gained entry witnessed Rocky play a raucous nine-song set comprising of material from his 2011 mixtape, ‘LiveLoveA$AP’, including ‘Purple Swag’ and ‘Wassup’. But it was during set-closer, ‘Peso’, when fans took control of the venue with the help of Rocky and his crew, who pulled those struggling to climb over the barrier up onstage.
