A structural collapse occurred at a large-scale music festival in Central and South America where the group Tomorrow X Together was appearing, resulting in two deaths. Regarding this, Tomorrow X Together expressed their deepest condolences through their official channel.
The tragedy occurred at ‘AXE Ceremonia’, a major festival in Central and South America. According to local media, part of the stage structure collapsed, killing two photographers covering the scene.
