Serna commented on the tragedy on his Instagram story following the incident. He stated:

“Those few minutes were tense; I’ve never gone through anything like that. The disaster occurred just at the conclusion of my presentation on the main stage, and those closest to it were the most severely hurt (area). There were a couple horrifying moments, and I’m still in disbelief.

CNN cited a festival representative as saying:

The main entrance and main stage of the Cullera Medusa Festival were destroyed by a powerful wind gust.

The representative claimed that it took close to 40 minutes to empty the grounds because there were 50,000 people there. Fans’ videos showed the severe weather that caused the partial stage to collapse as well as the security personnel’s efforts to remove the area.

Videos posted by fans show pieces of the stage flying off owing to strong wind gusts. Chaos is witnessed as the pieces fall into the audience. Those leaving the platform are seen shouting the names of their loved ones as they do so.

But the event’s planners did not anticipate the accident. They discussed the catastrophe and said it was inevitable in a recent post:

“This is a very distressing time. painful and challenging. A very sad and depressing time for family and friends. A moment nobody ought to ever witness. Additionally, it is the most difficult time any of us who make up Medusa Festival have ever imagined going through. We still feel terrible. Internally damaged so much so that hardly any words can be spoken.

The organizers added that they continue to think of the victims and those who were impacted:

“Our audience matters. They have put their faith in us and served as the main support for us to remain here today. Our top goal has always been the attendees’ safety during our event. Moreover, workers and creatives. We think that everyone who is familiar with us understands that safety is the most important concern at all of our events.

The speakers concluded by making the following announcement:

The Medusa Festival organization has decided to definitively cancel our festival because of this and because that continues to be our guiding principle. We are ethically and legally required to end our 2022 edition due to the unfavorable and unexpected weather circumstances that are predicted to last the entire day.

Ximo Puig, the regional president of Valencia, sent the victim’s family his sympathies. He stated:

“A horrifying incident that shocks us all. My sincere condolences go out to the family and friends of the young man who passed away during the Medusa Festival in Cullera early this morning.
