Last night at the Matador Music Festival in Santa Barbara, California, Porter Robinson was scheduled to play through until 11:30pm, but the police had other things in mind. At 11pm however, Porter Robinson was interrupted by Santa Barbara Police Department being threatened to be arrested unless he stopped his show.

the cops cut the power two minutes after that, claiming that i was ‘inciting a riot' by explaining the situation to the crowd.

the sheriff told me he was going to arrest me and seize all of my equipment ‘as evidence'. vindictive tyrant is embarrassed about the truth.
