Pitbull criticizes heat and air conditioning: concert under pressure in Frankfurt!
On June 18, 2025, the Festhalle Frankfurt was the venue for a sensational concert by US rapper Pitbull, real name Armando Christian Pérez. During his performance, which is part of his “Party After Dark” tour the artist left no doubt about how much the high temperatures and the inadequate air conditioning in the hall were bothering him and his fans. “In the event of an incident, people will not talk about the hall or Germany, but about me,” he criticized emphatically, thereby expressing the displeasure of his viewers.
Complaints about the climatic conditions did not go unheard. Many concert goers reported circulatory problems and a lack of water supply during the event. Although some claimed that security forces did distribute water, these measures did not reach all areas of the hall. However, Messe Frankfurt defended itself against the allegations by emphasizing that a mobile air conditioning system was in operation to cool the supply air and that there were also sufficient free water dispensers available. In a comprehensive water concept, 4,500 liters of drinking water in tetra packs and additional water dispensers outside were intended to quench visitors' thirst.
Organizers and security respond
The security service reported a total of 16 assistance calls that evening, which was considered relatively low since there were no patient transports. According to information from Messe Frankfurt, there were isolated cases of circulatory problems, but these were largely due to insufficient fluid intake. Organizer Live Nation explained that the hall was cooled to below 20 degrees Celsius before entry and additional doors were opened to reduce the internal temperature by around 2 degrees.
For future events in the festival hall DGUV Provided clear guidelines for visitor safety and well-being. Its latest revision from May 2025 not only offers comprehensive updates on technology and modern regulations, but also significant practical help for organizing and holding events. This could be helpful to avoid similar situation in the future and ensure guests' comfort.
Despite the heated conditions, the mood during the concert remained positive, with many users reporting a great show. Pitbull's charisma and energy obviously managed to put the heat to shame and get the crowd in a celebratory mood. It remains to be seen whether such experiences will be possible in the future without having to worry about climatic conditions.
