Witnesses have criticised the decision to have just one entrance through a tunnel to the Love Parade and said they warned police about overcrowding.

One Briton, Salil Bhate, described seeing people lying on the ground with "stamp marks on their faces".

Local authorities said a plan had been in place prior to the event.

The mayor of Duisburg Adolf Sauerland, where the festival took place, said a security plan had been worked out beforehand.

Mr Bhate, from Romford, Greater London, had "spontaneously" decided to go to the festival while on holiday in Germany.

"The stampede reminded me of a heavy metal concert, only here, there was nobody to help," he said.

Really ? I have been to literally Hundreds of Concerts and festivals like the US festivals in southern Calif. never have I seen Anything like this .

"The number of people that I saw lying on the floor, but too far away, was ridiculous. They had stamp marks on their faces. It wasn't until I saw people being resuscitated that I understood how serious this was."

There is something about a Soccer Stadium outside the united states , people are alwys being killed at them ! whether at a Soccer match or a concert !

RABAT (Reuters) - Eleven people were killed in a stampede at a stadium in the Moroccan capital Rabat overnight when thousands of spectators hurried to leave at the end of a concert wrapping up the city's landmark music festival.

The stampede caused a fence to give way, killing five women, two teenagers and four men. Forty people were injured, eight of them seriously.

The victims were among 70,000 spectators at a concert by Moroccan pop star Abdelaziz Stati at the Hay Nahda soccer stadium in Rabat.

"An investigation is under way to establish the exact causes and circumstances of the incident," the Interior Ministry said in a statement.

The concert was part of a week-long annual Mawazine music festival in Rabat which ended in the early hours of Sunday.

Mawazine is one of a growing number of well-funded music festivals aimed at promoting an image of tolerance and modernity in the Muslim north African kingdom.
