ORANGE BEACH, Ala. Some country music concerts are known to be a little bit louder, and rowdier than others not to mention the occasional brawl in the stands.

And such is the case that’s being reported locally as well as on social media and on some music websites regarding a recent country artists concert at the Wharf in Orange Beach.

Between the heat, the liquid courage in a cup and the low tolerance that some people have for others, fights seem to be breaking out more often and more violently.

One of the most ridiculous fights that I’ve ever seen happened during Gavin Adcock’s show over the weekend at The Wharf Amphitheater in Orange Beach, Alabama, and it’s one of the most brutal in recent memory.

In a video posted to Instagram, at least six to eight people were involved in a brawl in the upper section of The Wharf. Though it’s a bit hard to decipher exactly what’s going on due to the person behind the camera getting blocked from view after folks rushed to break up the fight, it appears as if three separate fights were occurring simultaneously.

At this time, what and who started the fights is being disputed and fingers are pointing in every direction,

Over the past few years, especially in a post-COVID world, it seems as if fan behavior has hit an all-time low. From the ridiculous beer-throwing at Treaty Oak Revival concerts that left frontman Sam Canty with a gash under his eye and Riley Green needing stitches after a phone was hurled at him in Australia to Megan Moroney having a hat chucked at her and Morgan Wallen getting grabbed by a fan last year, and other country acts having similar bad experiences.

We reached out to the security team at the Wharf and the Orange Beach Police Department, but they have not returned our emails and phone calls.

The Instagram user who posted the video said that the most dangerous and downright scary one of them all was captured right in front of the Instagram user. Being the only one-on-one fight in the video, one man is shown pinning another man down to the bleacher seats before brutally kneeing him in the face three to four times, with his neck slamming against the bleacher floor.

Multiple concert attendees are claiming on social media platforms that there were upwards of four to six fights throughout the night, with one video (which was reposted by Adcock himself) claiming that someone split their head open, resulting in “so much blood.”

We have begun researching other concerts held at the Wharf during the past few years that also had instances of fights, violence or injured people and will soon post Part Two of this story.
