Abstract

Social media has become the communication channel of choice when companies and organizations are confronted with crisis situations or emerging events. Within this study, a single crisis situation is examined. The metal festival Wacken Open Air from 2015, organized by International Concert Service, has been chosen as a case study where heavy rain falls before the event led to a crisis event. The study gives insights into the usage of social media by International Concert Service and offers best practice examples of how to handle such difficult situations.
