German metalcore outfit Caliban have issued a statement in regards to a fan suffering serious injuries in the moshpit during their May 09th set at The Asylum in Birmingham, UK. That incident is said to have taken place 8 songs in during the track “VirUS“, with the group going on to pause the concert to allow medical personnel to attend to the injured concertgoer.
Speaking via social media, the band shared:
“We had to interrupt our show last night after a serious incident in the moshpit at our show at Asylum Birmingham.
A girl was injured during our set—she fell and was unconscious and unresponsive for several minutes. She suffered injuries to her face and was immediately attended to by venue staff.
Thanks to the fast response of the team on-site and the calm, respectful behavior of the crowd, the situation was handled swiftly and professionally. Emergency services were called, and we’ve since been informed that, despite the nature of her injuries, she is expected to make a full recovery.
The safety of everyone at our shows is always our highest priority. We want to thank the venue staff and promoter for their outstanding handling of the situation.
There is a merch care package waiting for you at the venue
Please take care of each other out there. If someone falls, help them up. A Caliban show should always be a safe space for everyone.”
