1982 ELO concert riot

During an infamous 1982 performance by English rock band Electric Light Orchestra at the Koda Amphitheater in Koda, Nishiyama, a riot broke out due to excitement from the fans over the band's presence.

Background
On July 2, 1981, ELO released their ninth studio album, Time. The reception in the Nishiyamese press was split, but the album would end up at number one for 5 weeks. A month later in August, rumor spread that the band would be holding a concert at the Koda Amphitheater during the currently-going Time Tour.

On January 2, 1982, ELO began touring Nishiyama. The critical reaction to the concerts was phenomenal.
