People nearby said that the impact caused a serious head injury, with visible blood at the scene.

Early reports suggest that strong winds may have caused the equipment to fall.

However, the same weather already created problems at the festival, affecting other shows as well.

Videos shared online showed the fallen fixture on the ground under the stage setup, which worried many people at the event.

Festival organisers didn’t share a full statement at the time as the incident has once again raised questions about safety at large music festivals, especially when weather conditions become difficult.
