A police spokeswoman said officers tried to stop a fight on the corner of Russell Street and Flinders Street about 11.10pm.
"Upon police arrival a large group of males became aggressive and police were forced to use OC spray to subdue the crowd," the spokeswoman said.
The spokeswoman said about 20 men were involved in the confrontation.
Five people were arrested and a 15-year-old male will face a children's court at a later date.
US hip-hop artist Michael Wayne Atha, who goes by the stage name Yelawolf, was the headline act at the Forum on Sunday.
The Alabama-based musician describes himself on Twitter as an "alien redneck mastermind".
Last year Yelawolf cancelled a U.S. tour after erratic on-stage behaviour, including one incident in which he reportedly fought a fan during a show.
In October 2017 he released a comeback album.
Yelawolf has been described by critics as Eminem's protege and cites Kid Rock as an influence.
Yelawolf's management and the Forum have been contacted for comment.
More to come.
