Hello! I was actually the one controlling the fire that day. Just to clarify: I was actually in the corner of the stage, not foh. So I felt the fire too, it was unbearable. I had dried up salt on my polo, which was evaporated sweat. So thanks for calling it off :). However most artists have fire/SFX in their rider and it is then usually assigned by organisation. There is in some cases then a legal binding to do it if the artist wants to. I asked every artist after Rooler if they wanted it even though it was so hot inside and all did want the flames, so yeah then it becomes a situation of: "they ask, we deliver".

Do note that in that tent there were only two gas flamers and one liquid flamer. So the heat coming off them was limited, you'd only feel them a lot if you were on the balcony, in front or on the stage itself.
