The promoter of Ireland’s Electric Picnic festival is defending the event’s organisation following a crowd collapse at an overcrowded stage. Festival-goers were previously advised to steer clear of the Electric Arena due to congestion. Details surrounding the collapse remain limited, but concerns have been raised about crowd management at the popular music event. The promoter has stated they are investigating the incident and working to ensure the safety of attendees. No serious injuries have been reported at this time. Organisers are reviewing procedures to prevent similar issues during the remainder of the festival. Further updates are expected as the investigation progresses.
