Festival-goer at Electric Love Festival in Salzburg, aged 22, passes away
In a shocking turn of events, a 22-year-old German man lost his life during the Electric Love Festival in Salzburg, Austria, on Saturday, 5th July 2025. The incident occurred during an intervention by festival security personnel, and despite immediate first aid and the presence of emergency doctors, the man could not be revived[1][3].
The Salzburg State Criminal Police Office has launched an investigation to determine the exact cause of the man's death. It remains unclear if the security staff's actions directly contributed to his loss of consciousness and subsequent death. Further interviews are ongoing, and the public prosecutor's office has ordered an autopsy to determine the precise cause[1][3].
The festival, which spanned three days, saw approximately 720 people requiring medical treatment, mainly for heat-related issues and minor injuries. This is considered typical for an event of this size, with about 180 Red Cross personnel, including emergency doctors and paramedics, on duty daily to provide medical support[1].
Meanwhile, in Hamm, Germany, Volksbank Hamm has announced its support for media education in kindergartens. The bank has pledged a financial contribution of 10,000 Euros to the cause[2]. The specific details about the person signed by ASV Hamm-Westfalen, a sports club in Hamm, were not provided in the news report[1].
Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the deceased during this difficult time. The investigation into the incident at the Electric Love Festival continues, and we will bring you updates as more information becomes available.
