those 2[/color][/b] (for various reasons). :cry:

Ah well, I suppose I can't really complain!

 

 

We had Kid A also; btw in regard to that, when I was waiting in line outside, multiple people were like "omfg *@$@#*&$_$*" your license plate! :lol:

 

yeah. I was hoping they would've played Amazing Sounds at your show!

 

 

haha that's awesome!

If someone needs a ticket for Berlin 1 or 2, some guy on Atease is selling them.

going to Downsview in Toronto very shortly! so excited for this show!

Umm. Stage collapsed. Ambulances. Show cancelled. D:

oh no, toronto's show got cancelled, because parts of the stage have collapsed (before people have been let in). no news about any injuries of crew or band. :uhoh:

edit: BREAKING: One person has been pronounced dead after the stage collapse at Downsview Park. (link)

oh no no no

 

rest in peace, dude

Hooly shit! :o

 

I feel so bad for everyone who had tickets for tonight's show

 

And I hope that the band is okay :anxious:

Oh dear god. This is terrible! :shocked2: :cry:

going to Downsview in Toronto very shortly! so excited for this show!

 

:hug: :cry: I feel so bad for you and every other person who had tickets

I'm wondering what went wrong...

Prayers for everyone involved, never ever should this happen

 

 

Such a sad story!

This is so awful. Sounds like it was a crew member. It is so surreal to think that in Detroit I saw whoever it was onstage, not knowing what would happen to him less than a week later. Blows my mind. The band and the rest of the crew must be absolutely gutted right now, with this happening at the last gig on the NA tour. So sad.

William7, you ok?

 

were you there when it happened?

Came here to post (my first post in a few months) about the stage collapse. Terrible news. R.I.P. to the person who died. I can't imagine how everyone involved must be feeling, especially the band. No one should die because of music, it should bring people together.

I'm wondering what went wrong...

the collapse happened because the setting up the stage was rushed which fucking repulses me. basically it seems like this: the doors were set to open slightly earlier than normal, at 5pm, with the reasoning being getting all the 45,000 people attending this show packed into the venue as soon as possible. so they shoved shit up as quickly as possible so they could get all of these people in to spend money on fucking beer. this is obviously not okay.

as far as we understand, two construction workers died; no one affiliated with either of the bands were hurt. otherwise the seriousness of the situation isn’t completely understood yet so it’s not wise to get too ahead of ourselves, but keep this in mind either way: it could have been a lot worse. if it had happened literally 25 minutes later, i and several others would be dead. if it had happened a couple hours later, the band and many audience members would be dead. the venue is at fault. radiohead’s people will learn from this and hopefully take greater care in choosing the places they will perform at - because giant parks with stages made of fucking twigs is putting people’s lives at risk.

 

 

Oh, and it was only one person dead, the other had serious head injury

This is the most relevant source. She literally follows radiohead everywhere.

It wasn't part of the bands crew, it was most likely someone from the construction company who was building the stage on this particular show. Sounds like they were rushing the construction as the gates were opening earlier than they thought...

Incredibly sad story. my thoughts are with the family, friends, crew etc...

 

Also, somewhat unimportant but I hope all of the bands (including Caribou) equipment is alright. I know they have a lot of stuff that's difficult to replace.

William7, you ok?

 

were you there when it happened?

 

hey thanks!

 

nobody was let in, thankfully because more would have probably been injured. Everyone was waiting in lines prior to the show...

 

mentioned before I had no idea doors were set to be at 5 because there was definitely not thousands of fans there (yet)...

 

It is very upsetting knowing what happened because things like that never should, ever.

 

I do hope they reschedule, but if not - oh well, just more motivation to go next time...

Read the news last night before bed, what a horrible thing to happen. I agree with TwistedPolitik (sorry, don't know your name), no one should die like that. Makes me feel sick.

William7, you ok?

 

were you there when it happened?

 

Oops I didn't mean to thank your post :(

Absolutely terrible news. I can't imagine what would have happened if the stage collapsed even a couple of minutes later. Or heaven forbid, during the actual show...

 

I think the rest of the tour is in jeopardy. At the very least, a few cancelled European dates.

Whoa :O shocking. My thoughts go out to the man's family. Terrible thing to happen. As bad as it sounds, thankfully it didn't happen minutes or hours later, or it could have been much much worse...
