According to law enforcement officials, the woman suddenly fell ill.

The Hurricane Festival is considered one of the largest music events in Germany. Every year, the festival attracts up to 70,000 visitors, and its lineup features performances by artists in the genres of rock, pop, alternative, indie, hip-hop, and electronic music.
