Overview
- The three‑day Hurricane at the Eichenring drew about 78,000 people for its 30th edition and ended with a calm, staged departure of attendees.
- Festival medical teams said treatment numbers were average despite heat, but a 41‑year‑old woman died on site after unsuccessful resuscitation and police are investigating without current signs of foul play.
- FKP Scorpio tested a fully cashless payment system that organizers called largely successful despite occasional Wi‑Fi and reload delays and said they plan more data collection for crowd management.
- Local police reported arrests tied to the sale of manipulated tickets, detaining two people initially and holding four more linked to a travelling group with prior festival incidents.
- After the crowd left, volunteer groups and charities including the Tafel and Foodsharing recovered usable food and camping gear—collecting roughly 50–60 crates—while cleanup crews dealt with the usual volume of tents and rubbish.
