The stampede took place at the town of Pekalongan located in the Central Java province. This is not the first such case in the country. Bulgaria is about to mark Thursday five years since its own bitter experience with concert-caused stampedes. On December 21 of 2001, seven children, aged between 10 and 15 were trampled to death in the Indigo disco, struggling to get in for a rap concert.
