Reports of multiple medical emergencies have surfaced following the inaugural Sick New World Texas, which took place on October 24 in Fort Worth, Texas.
The reports began circulating on social media, prompting several festival-goers to share accounts of experiencing medical issues themselves or witnessing other attendees requiring assistance nearby.
Some attendees also described poor cellular reception throughout the festival grounds. According to their accounts, the combination of connectivity issues and large crowds made it difficult to contact others or seek medical assistance.
The reports come amid ongoing concerns about attendee safety at large-scale music festivals. Earlier this year, a fan reportedly suffered a traumatic brain injury following the Vans Warped Tour in Long Beach, California, while another attendee was left paralyzed after a concert-goer fell from a tree and landed on her during Knocked Loose’s set at Louder Than Life.
Details surrounding the reported incidents at Sick New World Texas remain limited. The number of people affected, the nature of their medical emergencies and their current conditions have not been independently established.
As of this writing, no fatalities or serious injuries connected to Sick New World Texas have been confirmed in the available reports. Further details may emerge as more information becomes available.
