Just a day before Rolling Loud Miami is set to start, helicopter video footage showed that a projection screen that was being set up for the popular music festivalhad collapsed at Hard Rock Stadium.

You can watch the footage above.

Rolling Loud released a statement saying it was a screen that collapsed and not the stage, contrary to earlier reports. Festival organizers said its team is working to repair the projection wall, and that despite the setback, the festival will still continue as planned. It’s unclear what exactly caused the screen to collapse.

“During load in and construction, a projection screen fell as it hadn’t yet been secured,” Rolling Loud Miami said in a statement. “There were no injuries and the stage is being reset for the weekend.”

In case you see it on the news, a screen fell down at one of our stages. Nobody was hurt and it will be fixed before doors open tomorrow. The show goes on!
