- Alarm triggered at Elbphilharmonie, leading to concert termination
An event at the Elbphilharmonie was suddenly interrupted by a fire alarm. The fire department's representative informed that a potential electrical cord blaze beneath the stage might be responsible for triggering the alarm system and the sprinklers during the Sunday night show. Upon their arrival, firefighters verified that no actual fire was burning. Nevertheless, the excessive water from the sprinklers influencing the area beneath the stage resulted in the cancellation of the initially postponed concert due to the technical area getting soaked. Initially reported by "Hamburger Abendblatt".
The evening's star attraction was British soul sensation Sampha. The Grand Hall, which had been filled to its 2,100-seat capacity, was hosting an unforgettable show. The concert proceeded smoothly for around thirty minutes before the fire alarm blared, prompting the evacuation of the concert hall. There was no initial information regarding the scope of the damage.
The unexpected fire alarm caused a sudden halt to Sampha's captivating performance. Following the alarm, the concertgoers were instructed to evacuate due to potential electrical issues beneath the stage.
