When the fire broke out, German rapper Ski Aggu was performing at the music festival. He took to his Instagram and posted that he was "dismayed and shocked" after the incident. He said, he was asked not to cancel the show under any circumstances, but should also engage with the audience to avoid mass panic. He said that his priority was to control the incident and it should not escalate further. The rapper thanked people for staying calm. He also mentioned that the rescue workers were very quick in their work and managed to control the situation before it could get out of control.
