The band Radiohead had to cancel their concert for Saturday June 16th 2012 when the stage rig at the venue collapsed killing at least one person and injuring others.

Nobody in the band was injured and the stage collapsed before the show started.

The band was set to perform a concert at the Downsview Park in Toronto Canada tonight but the band took to twitter to inform their fans of the cancellation saying,

"Due to unforeseen circumstances tonight's show at Downsview Park tonight has been cancelled. Fans are advised not to make their way to the venue."

A message on the Downsview Park website simply read,

“Radiohead concert cancelled. There has been an incident, more details forthcoming.”

The squall caused the Chateau Tent, where American band “Smith Westerns” was preparing to perform to collapse.

The band posted on twitter saying,

"Stage collapsed max almost got crushed by the tress, I hope Pukkelpop has insurance because all our stuff is broke."

Some 60,000 music fans were expected to turn out for the three day Pukkelpop festival that had performances on several stages throughout the festival grounds.

Reports say that four of the stages may have collapsed.

The remaining performances have been cancelled and an investigation is underway.

This is the second stage collapse resulting in multiple deaths in the last 5 days.

Last Saturday a stage at the Indiana State Fair in Indianapolis Indiana collapsed killing five people and injuring at least 50 others.

An industry insider said,

“This is way bands don’t like outside venues. It’s just too dangerous and these elaborate stage setups can be massive. On false move and it can all come tumbling down - weather is unpredictable.”

Word is slowly leaking out on the condition of those injured but it could be days before authorities know the full impact of the tragedy.

Other bands that were scheduled to perform at the festival were Good Charlotte, Fleet Foxes, Foo Fighters, Eminem, and Thirty Seconds to Mars.
