Incident Report: Examination of the blast incident during Mohamed Ramadan's performance
================================================================================
In the midst of the excitement at the Porto Beats Festival on July 31, 2025, a sudden and unexpected incident occurred during Mohamed Ramadan's performance. An explosion near the stage, initially believed to be a bomb, disrupted the concert and caused chaos[3][5].
However, further investigations have revealed that the explosion was most likely a malfunction or explosion of a gas cylinder or fireworks equipment[1][2][3][5]. Ramadan, who was personally affected by the incident as it occurred near his ear, initially suggested that the explosion was an assassination attempt[1]. However, he later retracted this claim, stating that it was more likely a gas cylinder explosion related to the fireworks, not a deliberate attack[2].
The unfortunate incident resulted in the death of a crew member from the pyrotechnics team and injuries to six others, some of whom were seriously hurt[1][3]. In response to the incident, Ramadan immediately cancelled the concert and called for medical help[1][3].
Ramadan has since confirmed with the Porto Marina management that the venue and stage were swept clean for safety[6]. He also took to Instagram to express his condolences for the deceased worker and prayers for the recovery of the injured[4].
As the investigation into the cause of the accident continues, it's important to note that the primary cause was a fireworks/gas explosion malfunction, not confirmed as intentional[1][2].
