Rarely have I seen a crowd go so hard as during Rob Zombie's performance of Superbeast. Dozens of people had to be pulled out of the crowd near the stage. This allegedly prompted a severely inebriated woman to make her way to the control panel and pull random cords to stop the show. After the song, the show stopped for a solid five minutes while everything was put back in order and more people were pulled from the crowd. It was the third song of the night.
I covered this event as a part of the UTEP Prospector. Our original coverage can be found here: http://www.theprospectordaily.com/showcase/2015/06/28/el-pasoans-pack-downtown-for-streetfest-2015/

The StreetFest pulled in an estimated 12,000 attendees each night with headlining acts Halestorm, Young Rising Sons, Rob Zombie and Weezer along with local artists.
