Safety at major concerts
At an 11,000-person outdoor concert, safety is paramount. Here's how to look after yourself and others.
Arrival
- Set a meeting point with your group beforehand
- Note the emergency exits
- Don't push — rushing forward is dangerous
During the concert
Crowd safety
- If you feel crowd pressure, turn sideways (smaller surface = less pressure)
- Don't let anyone fall — if someone goes down, help them up
- If you feel panic, try to move toward the edge of the crowd
Weather
In August:
- Hot: stay hydrated, use sunscreen
- Rain: the concert generally continues — bring a rain jacket
- Cool evening: bring a light cardigan
First aid
Every major event has a first aid station. If you or anyone around you feels unwell, don't hesitate to seek help.
With children
The concert is open to all ages. Children under 14 must be accompanied by an adult. Hearing protection (earplugs) is especially important for kids.
Responsible fun
If you consume alcohol, plan your ride home in advance — never drive!
