Man Dies At Germany's SOUTHSIDE Festival

June 25, 2007

Wolfgang Spahr of Billboard.com reports that severe storms have left one man dead and another seriously injured at Germany's Southside Festival.

The man, a 28-year-old medic, died Thursday (June 21) when his vehicle was struck by a tent pole flung into the air by a storm at the festival site on a military airfield in Neuhausen ob Eck, southern Germany. His 30-year-old colleague was severely injured in the incident.

Winds in excess of 120 kilometers per hour had swept over the grounds and destroyed tents erected for the concert, which was held June 22-24.

The rock festival was held in Neuhausen for the eighth time with performers including PEARL JAM, BEASTIE BOYS, MARILYN MANSON and PLACEBO.
