A tragedy occurred during Battle Beast’s show on Monday (1st) at the Majestic Music Club in Bratislava, Slovakia, when a concertgoer suffered a heart attack and passed away during the band’s performance.
On Tuesday (2nd), Battle Beast issued a statement addressing the incident:
“Yesterday in Bratislava, we were forced to stop the show due to a severe medical emergency in the audience, which tragically resulted in a person’s death.
We want to thank the local crew and promoter for responding to the situation with professionalism and care. To everyone who was present, thank you for your patience, respect, and understanding during such a shocking and difficult moment. We share in the grief and heaviness that many of you are feeling. Our deepest condolences go out to the family and loved ones of the person who passed away. Love, BATTLE BEAST”
Tour mates Dominum and Majestica also shared their condolences in separate messages.
Dominum expressed:
“Bratislava, thank you for that amazing show we had together. We truly felt your energy, and we were completely hyped. Shortly after, during Battle Beast’s set, one person suffered a heart attack. Tragically, the person did not make it, and our thoughts are with the family. This is a situation we have never been in before, and we find ourselves missing the right words. But what we can say is how deeply moved we were by all of you. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for staying calm, for reacting so quickly, and for trying to help without a second thought.
We are incredibly grateful for the way you stood together in such a difficult moment. Seeing a community care for one another so naturally, so instinctively, reminded us how powerful and meaningful this connection between all of us can be — not just during the music, but beyond it. Thank you for being there for each other. Our condolences go out to the family in these tough times.”
Majestica shared:
“Bratislava , we had a great time playing for you last night! Sadly the night tragically ended too early. Just a few of songs into the Battle Beast set, one person suffered a heart attack and sadly didn’t make it. Our thoughts are with the family. Thank you for being so patient, staying calm and reacting so quickly to try and help.”
Battle Beast are closing out 2025 with their European tour, followed by Japan and Australia in March 2026. Their European trek features Dominum as special guest and Majestica as opener, continuing through mid-December. The band recently released their seventh studio album, Steelbound, via Nuclear Blast (read our review here).
