Three people were injured on Wednesday night (April 23) when a bleacher collapsed during a concert by Spanish star Quevedo at the Palacio de los Deportes in Mexico City, promoter Ocesa confirmed to Billboard Español on Thursday (April 24).
The incident happened when some attendees in section C of the venue started jumping to the beat of the music, causing one of the bleacher planks to give way and collapse. Videos shared on social media show two people lying on the ground while others in the audience call for help.
Promoter Ocesa spoke out on Thursday in a statement, clarifying that the three people “sustained non-serious injuries.”
“In line with our protocols, the individuals were immediately attended to by the venue’s medical and security staff, and were taken to a hospital where they received care and were discharged during the early hours of the morning accompanied by their families,” Ocesa explained in a statement to Billboard Español.
In the same statement, the Mexican promoter reaffirmed its commitment to the safety of attendees, staff, and artists.
In a post on X Thursday, Quevedo spoke about the incident that occurred during his show.
“Good morning from CDMX. Last night, a bleacher collapsed during the show, and three people had to receive medical attention,” wrote the “Quédate” singer. “We’ve learned that they’ve been discharged without serious injuries, and I wanted to send them encouragement and strength for a speedy recovery.”
The accident happened nearly three weeks after the tragedy at the AXE Ceremonia festival, where two photojournalists lost their lives when a scissor lift, used to place a decorative figure, fell on them due to strong wind gusts. The incident is currently being investigated by Mexico City’s Attorney General’s Office.
Quevedo kicked off the Latin American leg of his Buenas Noches tour on Wednesday in Mexico City, marking his first visit to the region in two years. The tour will also stop in Guadalajara and Monterrey on Friday and Sunday (April 25 and 27). With 14 dates, this is the “Gran Vía” singer’s most ambitious tour in Latin America to date.
