Fans Share Video of Fatal Stage Collapse at Medusa Festival

Terrifying winds at this year’s Medusa Festival injure many and claim the life of one young man.

Severe winds collapsed a stage at Medusa Festival killing one man and injuring several others. The six-day electronic music festival took place near Valencia, Spain hosting sets from artists David Guetta, Steve Aoki, Afrojack, Carl Cox, and more.  

The main entrance and main stage of the Medusa Festival collapsed due to extreme gusts of winds. It was a little after 4:00 am at the time of the incident while DJ Miguel Serna was performing for over 50,000 people in attendance. About 40 people were transported to the hospital including three people with life-threatening injuries.

“It was a tense few minutes, I’ve never experienced anything like it before,” Serna shared on Instagram. “The tragedy happened just at the end of my session on the main stage, just below it, which was the most affected (area). It was a few moments of horror, I am still in shock.”

Attendees shared videos on Twitter of the devastating aftermath and debris flying through the wind.

So this is why you shouldn't be mad when @insomniacevents close the MainStage or shut down the event at EDC Las Vegas
