After a scrum near some security barriers, the man got to his feet and started taunting someone near the stage.
A guard then dropped him with a right hook and the fight continued.
Austin police said the man was eventually tossed from the venue, though wasn't arrested, local KXAN-TV reported.
Back onstage, the duo continued their set, with rapper Killer Mike cursing the lunatic and leading the crowd in a chant of "F-boy!"
"Your momma should be ashamed you were born!" he shouted.
On Twitter later, El-P thanked security for intervening, calling the attacker "mentally ill and dangerous."
