Cheap Trick fans got more than they bargained for Sunday night, when the stage at the band's Ottawa Bluesfest gig collapsed 20 minutes into the show.

The Bluesfest main stage reportedly lifted up, then crumpled when a sudden thunderstorm blasted through the area.

Ambulances, police and fire vehicles descended on the scene and thousands of people fled the area.

At least three people were injured, one seriously, the Canadian Press reported.

Organizers of the annual event called off the show when lightning began to flash, scrapping the festival's final act, Death Cab for Cutie.
