AXE Ceremonia Festival Cancels After Crane Collapse Kills Two

The AXE Ceremonia music festival in Mexico City was suspended on April 6 following a tragic crane collapse that resulted in the deaths of two photographers, Miguel Angel Rojas and Berenice Giles, who were covering the event. The crane fell around 5:30 PM on April 5 while transporting a decorative object, reportedly due to a gust of wind. Festival organizers expressed their profound sadness and stated that they are providing support to the victims' families, while ticket refunds will be issued through Ticketmaster. Local authorities confirmed that the suspension of the festival was implemented after inspections, and an investigation into the incident has been launched. Despite the incident, the festival continued on Saturday with performances from major artists like Charli XCX and Tomorrow X Together. The event was originally set to feature additional acts on Sunday, including Tyler, the Creator and Massive Attack, but was ultimately canceled in light of the tragedy.
