The Herman Hill Riot was a riot that took place in Wichita, Kansas, between the audience at a local rock concert in Herman Hill park and the police on April 15, 1979 (Easter Sunday). Reports stated that 53 people were injured during the riot. The concert began in an undeveloped park on the southern edge of the city purportedly capable of holding 1,500 people; later crowd estimates ranged between 3,500 and 5,000 people, but attendees estimated the number to be closer to 1,000. This event inspired a song by Manilla Road, Herman Hill, released in 1979.
