Watch a Pipe Burst On Stage at the Middle East in Cambridge
HOUSTON, TEXAS - FEBRUARY 20: Water shoots out of a burst pipe outside of a restaurant on February 20, 2021 in Houston, Texas. Much of Texas is still struggling with historic cold weather, power outages and a shortage of potable water after winter storm Uri swept across 26 states with a mix of freezing temperatures and precipitation. Many Houston residents do not have drinkable water at their homes and are relying on city water giveaways. (Photo by Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)
I’ve spent many a massive night at the Middle East Downstairs over the years and seen my fair share of great bands. But I’ve never seen this happen.
During punk-metal band CANDY‘s set on Tuesday, December 8, a boisterous fan executed an on-stage flip that resulted in a burst pipe. Twitter user AbraQdoba caught the aftermath on video.

Sometimes backflips backfire. Like in one of the greatest Vines of all-time.
