Not quite a collapse but a bit of a "lean" and good and bad elements of Showstop procedure.

The couple who were "advised" not to enter the site should have been prevented from access but apart from that slight glitch, not too bad. At least they stopped the vast bulk of punters from seeking shelter in Portaloos!

Interesting to see that the line arrays and some of the other flown gear had been dropped in (or maybe not raised...?) at some stage, which I'm guessing helped with the residual stability of the staging. My guess would be that assuming that all HAD been set up for the gig, then the crew could well have taken note of the advance weather warnings and made the installation as safe as feasible under the circumstances.
But either way it does look rather like a triumph of how a stage should be built to withstand the elements...

I had a great business plan ... I was going to build bungalows for Snow White's seven dwarfs...
However, there was just one tiny flaw .............
