Crush at Indonesia rock concert kills 10, police say

Clouds over Jakarta. Ten young people were trampled or crushed to death as hundreds of music fans tried to force their way out of a rock concert in the Indonesian city of Bandung, police and hospital officials said Sunday

Ten young people were trampled or crushed to death as hundreds of music fans tried to force their way out of a rock concert in the Indonesian city of Bandung, police and hospital officials said Sunday.

Witnesses told the local Pikiran Rakyat daily that people inside the packed venue were trying to escape the crush just as hundreds of others were surging their way inside.

"Ten people were killed, one of them has not yet been identified. Six other people were injured," Bandung police chief Bambang Suparsono told the Detikcom online news portal.

The dead are mostly teenagers. He said an investigation was under way into the incident late Saturday.

Detikcom, quoting another police officer, said the capacity of the building was for 700 people but that only around 400 attended the concert by a popular heavy metal group called Besides.

The concert was being held to launch its latest album.

However Pikiran Rakyat said there were more than 1,500 people inside, which it said was about 500 more than the building's capacity.

Detikcom said at least 40 were being questioned, while a police officer at Bandung, the capital of West Java, said three organisers were being quizzed as suspects.

"The bodies of 10 people have been brought here but all but three have been taken by their family," said Toto, a staff member at the local hospital morgue where the dead were initially brought.

Suparsono said the crush occurred as people tried to leave the Asia Africa Arts Hall in downtown Bandung.

One 19-year-old witness told Pikiran Rakyat: "Outside, there were hundreds of people pushing to enter. They were pushing at the gate.

"Inside, there were also a lot of people who wanted to leave, because the hall was so packed that it was difficult to breathe."

Another witness said the venue was so crowded that he did not have enough room to bend down to retrieve a shoe which had come loose.

A third told the paper that while the band was playing, hundreds of people forced their way in, damaging the entrance lobby.

"The cause of the deaths cannot yet be established," West Java Police Chief Susno Duaji was quoted by the Pikiran Rakyat as saying from the scene.

Duaji said police inside the building had asked the organizers to halt the concert because many of those in the venue had already fainted.

He said most of the victims showed signs of lack of oxygen.

The art-deco former movie house, next to a building that hosted the first Asia Africa conference in 1955, remained closed to the public Sunday.

Some dozen police officers were posted to close off the entrance, although passers-by could see in to the broken glass panels of the main entrance inside and the damaged iron grilles, the state Antara news agency said.

This is not the first time people have been killed at a rock concert.

In December 2006, 10 died and dozens were injured in a stampede at a packed football stadium in Kedungwuni in Indonesia's Central Java province.

Detikcom said then the stadium, built to take 6,000 people, was filled to almost double its capacity for the concert by the group Ungu.

In 2004, eight people were killed in two separate stampedes at concerts by the pop group Sheila.

Lushington Entertainments is proud to announce that guitar maestro and Grammy winning, recording legend Carlos Santana will perform at Singapore’s Indoor Stadium on February 18th 2008, followed by a performance at Hong Kong’s AsiaWorld-Arena on March 7th 2008.


With in excess of 90 million record sales to date, The “Live Your Life” tour will showcase some of Santana’s greatest hits from over the years and once again provide the public an incredible opportunity to see one of the world’s most prolific and successful artists live in action. Always providing a memorable experience, Santana’s concerts remain high on the wish list of most music fans, irrespective of genre. Tickets available to the public on 29th November.


Santana is currently back in the music headlines with his latest single “Into the Night” (featuring vocals from none other than chart topping act Nickelback’s Chad Kroeger) and greatest hits release Ultimate Santana (SONYBMG). The single itself has received critical acclaim and is now climbing the charts internationally.


Over the course of his long and rewarding career – encompassing the five most profound evolutionary decades in the history of contemporary music, from the 1960s to the ’00s – Carlos Santana has remained steadfastly loyal to the twin tenets of artistry: First, respect for the traditions and influences of the past, and second, the ability to recognize and welcome change. Long before “world music” was a genre on record store shelves – or even had a name, for that matter – Carlos Santana and the band that bears his name were laying down the tracks that would bring homegrown electric American music to the four corners of the globe.


After more than 40 years on the world stage, Carlos Santana is at a new pinnacle in his career, more vital and relevant – and more exposed on radio, TV and the Internet – than ever before. At the essence of it all is a signature sound that is unique and instantly identifiable. With his lifetime of achievement and dedication to music, every move that Santana makes is nothing less than a multi-cultural event – the soundtrack for the world. Santana was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998.


Ever active in social and humanitarian causes Carlos and Deborah Santana, his wife of more than 30 years, launched their Milagro Foundation in 1998, the culmination of decades of support for countless charities and non-profit agencies the world over. With over $2 million in grants to date, Milagro supports organizations promoting the welfare of underserved children in the areas of health, education, and the arts.


Santana is represented by SONYBMG.

The Police to Rock Singapore for Only SE Asia Date

Lushington Entertainments are proud to announce a one night only event that will bring The Police for the first time to Singapore. The current tour is the top selling and highest grossing tour of 2007 (grossing over US$171m in 53 shows) giving fans their first opportunity to see the band after twenty years. With shows selling out across the world, the concert at the Singapore Indoor Stadium on Monday 4th February and will surely be one of the most memorable events of the year and another landmark event for Singapore based Lushington Entertainments.

In 1977, The Police stormed the music scene by blending reggae, punk, jazz and rock. Sting, Stewart Copeland and Andy Summers created an unmistakably nuanced sound filled with evocative melodies, infectious lyrics and rock & roll swagger. Combining controlled energy and evocative melodies, the trio played with the improvisational instincts of a jazz trio and the raw energy of a punk-rock band - a blend that made them one of the definitive rock groups of the '70s and '80s. The band manifested an understated virtuosity, applying their chops within reggae grooves and intricate arrangements. Between Summers' trenchant and ground breaking guitar work, Copeland's deceptively complex poly-rhythms and Sting's loping bass and soaring vocals, They were indisputably the most adventurous ambassadors of the new wave genre then known spawning instantly recognizable hits such as “Roxanne”, “So Lonely”, “Message in a Bottle”, “Walking on the Moon”, “Don’t Stand So Close To Me” and “Every Little Thing She Does is Magic”.

The Police dominated the top of the charts and radio airwaves worldwide with five #1 albums and a succession of top 10 hit singles. In the six years they were together, The Police became one of the world's most famous bands, earning six Grammy Awards, selling over 50 million albums and winning countless fans around the globe.

Produced by Live Nation Global Touring and RZO Entertainment Inc. in association with Lushington Entertainments Pte. Ltd.

Strictly no bottles, cameras or recording devices allowed. Minimum age 8 years old.

The Police are represented by Universal Music
