Rolling Loud Festival: Videos show chaotic states

A lot of things didn’t go as planned at the Rolling Loud Festival this weekend (July 7th to 9th). The Ufo361 concert on Friday evening had to be canceled because too many spectators crowded the front area in front of the stage and the festival’s safety concept could not be followed at times.

People are said to have disobeyed the security instructions several times and jumped the breakwater to get closer to the stage. A video shows what happened on Friday:

The attendant stewards were unable to cope with the crowd of people crowding in front of the stage. Since, according to the organizer, stones were also thrown at the Rolling Loud Festival, security personnel were also withdrawn to protect it. The Munich “Evening News” also reports: Nine security employees were injured. A police spokesman said that at times 300 to 400 emergency services were on site to ensure order.

The departure management on Friday evening was also criticized for having long waiting times, which led to a lack of understanding among the large number of people. A video should show how some of the visitors behaved. The Google reviews of the festival say that waiting in the crowd even felt threatening at times.
