stampede

The match organizer and the security chief were handed down prison sentences Thursday in connection with a 2022 stampede that killed more than 130 people following a match in East Java.

Astroworld Festival calls to mind other rare but traumatic incidents at concerts and festivals throughout the last half-century. Here's a timeline of those tragedies.

At least 45 people were killed and some 150 injured in a crush at the gathering of ultra-Orthodox Jews in northern Israel, where tens of thousands had convened.

Officials say 120 people attended a party despite prohibitions on social gatherings, and tried to flee out of a single exit when police arrived to shut it down.

Most of those killed were minors attending a rap concert. Officials have not determined what caused the stampede, but there are reports of pepper spray being used inside of the club.
