    I think it was some kind of pop concert or something.

    That was at the Indiana State Fair. State Fairs have always been a HUGE tradition here in the USA, especially towards the the older east coast. Absolutely terrible to see this happen to these folks

    The video is of the horrific weather, no videos of the stage falling...yet.

    Personally I know a * load of people head over to this festival from my area, hope everyone is OK and everyone you might know that is at it is OK. terrible day for big music festivals
