Cody Johnson Brings San Antonio Show To A Halt When Brawl Breaks Out: “This Is Not A Travis Scott Concert”
No fighting on Cody Johnson’s watch.
The talented Texas native is currently out on tour, and a recent stop within his home state in San Antonio included some… let’s just say extracurricular activity out in the crowd. Cody Johnson always puts on a great show, and just as his fans hold him to a high standard, the “Dirt Cheap” singer expects for his audiences to behave in a civil manner when he’s up on stage.
When they don’t, he’s not afraid to call them out.
The timing of a fight out in the crowd literally could not have been worse. Johnson had just preached to the audience about how important it is to come together, and to choose unity over being divided. CoJo followed up his inspiring words with a performance of “God Bless America,” and ironically, the fists started flying sometime after that.
Johnson spotted the unruly behavior breaking out in the pit, and brought the show to a halt, saying:
“That’s alright. We got all night.”
Being called out by the man the fighting audience members paid to see apparently wasn’t enough for the concert goers to cease their battle, so Cody Johnson continued with some live commentary on the situation:
“I mean, this is not a Travis Scott concert. I’m not gonna tell you all to turn on them, but what do you all think about them stopping the show? There’s kids in the crowd, there’s all kinds of things in here that don’t need to happen. There we go… there’s the police officers.”

Boom, roasted.
That’s obviously a reference to the tragic events that unfolded at the Astroworld Festival back in 2021. Even though Travis Scott realized that something wrong was happening during his concert, he continued his show during a deadly crowd crush that left 10 people dead, dozens hospitalized and hundreds with minor injuries.
Cody Johnson doesn’t want his concerts to be anything remotely close to that.
And it’s also not the first time that Cody Johnson has used that line. Back in 2024, when a fan in the audience had a medical emergency, the country star pulled out the Travis Scott concert comparison… only that time he was calling out the rapper for not stopping his show when the Astroworld disaster was taking place:

Cody Johnson evidently keeps that line in his back pocket. And hey, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it… never hurts to recycle a joke every once in a while.The post Cody Johnson Brings San Antonio Show To A Halt When Brawl Breaks Out: “This Is Not A Travis Scott Concert” first appeared on Whiskey Riff.
