The multi-genre Wicked Oaks festival, which held its first edition in Austin, Texas, on Saturday and Sunday (Oct. 25-26), has released a statement addressing reports that multiple attendees were injured or killed during the event — and offered information on refunds for attendees impacted by the severe weather that forced temporary closures throughout the weekend.

According to festival organizers, there were no fatalities on the festival grounds, though two attendees were transported to hospitals on Saturday, while five were transported to hospitals on Sunday. “[Austin-Travis County] EMS has advised they are not aware of any deaths or critical patients among those transported from the festival,” the festival’s statement reads.
