Stampede at the end of Day Two takes shine off the sunny event

The end of Coachella's second day resembled "a scene out of a war film" as punters caused a stampede while exiting the event.

According to theMusic.com.au reporter Benny Doyle, festival-goers injured during the mad rush were stretchered out of the event on Saturday night.

Dust was flying in every orifice; the wind took a turn for the cold. People were getting stretchered away. It was like a scene from some war film."
