That includes the likes of Harry Styles and Bebe Rexha being injured by projectiles thrown by fans, as well as the bizarre case of someone throwing their mother's ashes on stage at a Pink concert.
More prevalent, however, is the scourge that is people using mobile phones at gigs - and not even to film what's going on on stage, but to record themselves and not the artist.
When country artist Miranda Lambert saw a group of girls taking selfies as she launched into a heartfelt ballad at her gig in Las Vegas, she actually stopped singing to chastise them.
"I'm gonna stop right here for a sec, I'm sorry," she said, a few lines into the song. "These girls are worried about their selfies and not listening to the song, and it’s pissing me off a little bit."
As the crowd cheered in support, she added: "I don’t like it. I don't like it at all! We’re here to hear some country music tonight! I’m singin’ some country damn music!"
She then shrugged and asked the crowd "Shall we start again?" before re-starting the track.
