Numerous ravers collapsed or were injured at London’s We Are FSTVL on Saturday following a stampede at the entrance, as RA reports.
Hundreds of people queued for up to three-and-a-half hours in hot conditions at the Upminster event, reports the BBC. The cause of the delay was reportedly a lack of wristbands. Some people were vomiting and collapsing from the heat, while others got caught up in the stampede. Some suffered cuts and wounds after being hit by metal barriers, which were reportedly being flung around.
