Caliban issues statement regarding a fan’s serious injuries during their Birmingham show

Caliban, a German metalcore band, released a statement regarding a fan who was seriously injured in the mosh pit during their May 9th performance at The Asylum in Birmingham, UK. According to those in attendance, the incident happened eight songs into the set during “VirUS.” The band then paused the performance so that medical staff could attend to the injured concertgoers.

Via social media, the band shared the following statement about the incident:

“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.”
