As the Public Prosecution began to investigate the accident, viral video clips filmed by the audience at the concert showed that the explosion occurred just as Ramadan was stepping onto the stage during a performance segment.
A powerful blast near the visual effects equipment erupted near the artist, claiming the life of a crew member from the pyrotechnics team and injuring others.
Emergency services were dispatched immediately, and the injured were transported to nearby hospitals for treatment.
Medical sources at Alamein Model Hospital confirmed to news websites that all injured individuals have been discharged, except for one young man who remains in critical condition following emergency surgery.
The patient, a 20-year-old young man from Cairo, underwent a delicate procedure to address a suspected brain haemorrhage, a deep facial wound, and a possible fracture in his left foot. He is currently sedated and under close observation.
Eyewitnesses reported panic among the audience as the incident unfolded.
Mohamed Ramadan promptly halted the show and called for an orderly evacuation, assuring the crowd that he would not leave the venue until all attendees were safely outside.
Ambulances and security forces arrived within minutes, and the venue was fully evacuated shortly after the explosion.
