AXE Ceremonia Festival in Mexico Suspended After Crane Collapse Leaves Two Dead


The AXE Ceremonia festival in Mexico City was suspended after a collapse that left two photographers dead.

“The teams from the Miguel Hidalgo Government and Legal Affairs, along with the borough’s Civil Protection department and the Administrative Verification Institute of Mexico City, completed the inspection and placed suspension seals at the entrances to AXE Ceremonia in Bicentennial Park,” the mayor’s office stated in its message. Following the crane collapse and the two fatalities it caused, AXE Ceremonia continued on Saturday with headline performances by corridos tumbados superstar Natanael Cano, British pop diva Charli XCX, and South Korean boy band Tomorrow X Together, according to Billboard Español. On Sunday (April 6), the second day of the festival’s activities, the highly anticipated return of British trip-hop group Massive Attack to Mexico City was expected, along with performances by American rapper Tyler, The Creator, Argentine duo Ca7riel & Paco Amoroso, Argentine-Spanish artist Nathy Peluso, and California-based indie pop band The Marías, among others.
