Travis Scott has broken the all-time concert attendance record at Allianz Stadium after his sold-out shows in Sydney.
The American rapper, 33, performed back-to-back shows at the stadium in Moore Park on Thursday and Friday.
The Allianz Stadium seats 45,500 people, with a maximum capacity of 55,500 visitors.
Tens of thousands of fans flocked to the event to see Scott perform his hits such as Sicko Mode, Fien and Nightcrawler.
During Friday night’s show, the American star brought out The Weeknd and sang Circus Maximus, Pray 4 Love, Skeletons and Wake Up.
But it was Thursday’s performance that went dark as horrific footage was captured of the moment a reveler was thrown to the ground and knocked out cold in the mosh pit.
The clip was filmed by an audience member during Scott’s Circus Maximus tour in on October 17.
In the video, Scott had already taken the stage when a group of men at the back of the general admission area appeared to become irritated.

A shirtless man placed another concertgoer in a chokehold before violently throwing him to the ground.
“Knock him down,” someone shouted.
“Whoa, World Star,” said a second, referring to a news site known for its fight videos.
The victim lay motionless as other concerned attendees rushed to his aid.
NSW Police and NSW Ambulance told Ny Breaking Australia neither department was notified of any incident during Thursday’s show.
Social media users are criticizing the fact that rap concerts no longer seem safe.

“This is the downside of all this pit macho-ism,” one person wrote.
“The worst part about going to rap shows these days. I hope that guy is doing well,” another added.
“People really don’t know how to do this, why we can’t have nice things,” a third wrote.
One person who was at the same concert as the alleged incident said they were also in the mosh pit and it had gotten scary at times.
‘I was standing at the barricade and people were acting completely crazy. I was even scared at times, like I’m quite a small person and I was choking. This is so sad and scary,” they wrote.
Others who attended Scott’s second concert in Sydney on Friday evening echoed the experience.
‘I also barricaded and [was] I’m just doing my best not to crush the two very small girls next to me. It was crazy at the front,” said one.
“I was on the second night and I think one of the guys, a self-imposed mosh pit maker, had his front teeth knocked out,” wrote a second.
“These things are so dangerous. I really feel sorry for the girls who were there.”
Concertgoers were also turned away from Scott’s sold-out Sydney performance on Friday evening.
The incident took place at the back of the general admission and mosh pit area and was filmed by a bystander
Several disgruntled ticket holders who attended the show vented their frustrations after a number of enthusiastic fans were refused entry due to their choice of outfit.
Commenting on the issue on Facebook group Tea Time, one participant asked why people were denied entry to the concert, as the stadium does not have a set dress code based on their entry conditions.
“Why do people get rejected at Travis Scott because of what they wear?” the poster asked. “Just curious, that’s all.”
When a fan asked what they had been wearing, the poster pointed out that those denied entry were dressed in “sports team jerseys and motorcycle patches.”
Wearing patches associated with motorcycle gangs is illegal in licensed premises in New South Wales.
In the comments, several other group members shared their experiences participating in the concert.
Scott’s concerts have gained an infamous reputation since nine people died at the hands of a lovelorn audience at his Astroworld Festival in November 2021
One user claimed that one cardholder was “turned away for wearing all-black clothing.”
Scott was in Sydney for two nights to promote his latest album and will tour the east coast next week.
He has two more concerts planned in Melbourne on Tuesday and Wednesday, followed by a final show in Brisbane on Saturday.
Scott’s concerts have earned a notorious reputation for their rowdy crowds since a fatal 2021 incident in Houston, Texas, claimed the lives of several attendees.
Nine concertgoers were killed at the Astroworld Festival on November 5, 2021 in Houston, Texas.
The county medical examiner said the deaths were caused by pressure asphyxiation, meaning people had suffocated in the crush of the crowd in the mosh pit.
Scott was cleared of any wrongdoing and the deaths were declared accidental.
