Amsterdam's Concertgebouw was evacuated because of a crumbling ceiling

Punters were evacuated from a party at Amsterdam's Concertgebouw after parts of the venue's ceiling began to crumble onto the dancefloor.

The show at the 2,000-person venue featured Dixon and Job Jobse playing a seven hour back-to-back set. The event was cut short by two hours after the main room's ceiling began to disintegrate onto dancers, RTL Nieuws reports.

The Concertgebouw posted a statement on its Facebook page this morning.

"Last night during a dance event in the Concertgebouw we found that grit had come loose from a plaster moulding above the stage in the Great Hall. We decided to end the event prematurely due to the safety of the visitors. The house is now clear. An inspection found that a small part of the stucco is damaged; this section has now been removed. No one is in danger.

"It is being examined whether the damage is related to the event. The Concertgebouw hosts dance events a couple of times a year because we wish it to be accessible to as many people as possible. All upcoming concerts and rehearsals will continue."
