Ottawa Bluesfest Stage Collapse Photos
It’s not pretty when a festival’s main stage clashes with Mother Nature.
Eight people were injured yesterday after a severe thunderstorm blew into the festival during Cheap Trick’s performance, sending fans running for cover. While the band and most festival goers managed to find shelter from the storm, at least eight people injured resulting in two people having to be hospitalized.
