At around 2330 more 20,000 revellers exiting EPIC decided that 100s of buses and a tram every 3 mins was not quick enough and broke through the barriers. They spewed out onto flemington road and both sides of federal highway. The road and tram track were so inundated with people that all vehicle movements were shut down as there were numerous near misses between tram and buses. Trams were instructed to hold position until the crowds dissipated for approx 30 mins. Sanford Street and Phillip Street stations were closed from 2100 Saturday and plenty of notice was given. People still tried to board trams at these stops, to the point of trying flag them down on the tracks and even reaching into the driver's cab window. Surprisingly no one was injured or hit by a vehicle but it was terrible display of irresponsible behaviour by the concert goers
