A grandstand failed at the Coolangatta Beach concert of the Red Hot Summer Tour while Boom Crash Opera was performing, and organisers have promised refunds to those seated in it.
The incident occurred at Coolangatta Beach at approximately 2.50pm while Boom Crash Opera were performing. The festival resumed approximately an hour later, with performances from Vika & Linda, Eskimo Joe, Birds of Tokyo, Men at Work and Australian Crawl continuing as scheduled.
Organisers said the grandstand had been inspected and approved by an engineer the previous day and pledged to investigate what caused the structure to fail. Those seated in the affected grandstand have been promised full refunds.
The Coolangatta concert was part of the Red Hot Summer Tour's latest run of Australian dates, with a lineup including Men at Work, Australian Crawl, Birds of Tokyo, Eskimo Joe, Boom Crash Opera and Vika & Linda. The tour is scheduled to continue on to Ballarat, Mornington, Swan Valley and Glenelg.
