But "destructive concert-goers became hostile" after the cancellation was announced, according to Vancouver PC Tanya Visintin.
In a statement, she said "several hundred people began fighting and destroying property".
Bins and food kiosks were overturned and damaged, she said, and tables, fridges and tents knocked down and thrown.
"Several people climbed various fixtures including a tall lamp-post," she said.
Bottles and other objects were thrown at police after dozens of officers were brought in from around the city to tackle the violence, PC Visintin added.
No major injuries were reported.
