What was I just saying? The organisers of Creamfields Central Europe, which took place in the Czech Republic earlier this month, have declared the event a success, despite it being hit by a freak storm that forced the main stages to be closed and caused most people to leave.
A statement said: "At 21.15 the storm swept the event away; 5,000 people ran away and the rest (some 2,000 revellers) spent the night in five tents (Intel Techno stage, Red Zone, Metro Studio 54 VIP stage, Kiss Stage and Seat Zone) where the party was going til eight in the morning and the atmosphere was great. The main two stages were stopped by technicians, because the construction was weakened by winds of 26 m/sec and the electricity wasn't safe and because of that we asked the artists who were on the program here to stay at the hotels, specifically John Digweed and Sasha in Le Meridien, Vienna, and the bands from the live stage in Hotel International, Brno. We also contacted Ferry Corsten´s management to cancel the outbound flight of his private jet from the Netherlands. Nobody was hurt, nobody died and there was no major damage to equipment".
