The World of Wearable Arts (WOW) has cancelled its Friday night show following the death of a crew member. Emergency services were called to the TSB Arena on Wellington's waterfront on Friday morning after reports of a medical event.
In a statement, WOW described the death as "tragic" and confirmed that the evening's performance would not go ahead. The organisation said its thoughts were with the crew member's family and colleagues.
Further details about the incident, including the person's identity and the cause of the medical event, have not been released. Police and emergency services attended the scene.
The cancellation affects one of the scheduled performances of the annual wearable art competition, which draws visitors to Wellington. WOW organisers have not yet announced whether other shows will proceed as planned.
