On Friday 30th of June, 2000 at the Roskilde Festival in Denmark, 9 people died.
During a performance by Pearl Jam, several people fell to the ground (slipped?). Due to the huge pressure of the crowd many more fell on top of each other.
At the time it was found that 8 people had died. The victims were a 26-year-old cadet police officer from Hamburg, a 23-year-old Dutchman and three Swedes, two of them aged 22 and one 20. Three Danes, including a 17-year-old, also died.
Afterwards an Australian died in hospital.
I don't know what those guys would of wanted, but I do know that if I had been one of them I would want everyone to keep going to the festivals. Peace.
