DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) – A hip hop concert at The House of Blues led to a massive crowd gathering in downtown Dallas Sunday night.
The Dallas Police Department brought out crowd control support and shut down Lamar, Houston, and Victory streets after crowds responded to artist J. Cole’s pop-up concert.
The performer offered a surprise $1 concert during his “Dollar And A Dream” tour at The House of Blues.
