Death of Jessica Michalik

Their lead singer Cedric Bixler-Zavala addressed the crowd at the conclusion of their song "Cosmonaut", saying "I think it's a very very sad day when the only way you can express yourself is through slamdancing".

[4] Reviewing Limp Bizkit's performance at the Big Day Out for Metal Hammer, Mark Hughes stated that "a horrifying looking [crowd] crush" occurred at the front of the stage when the band began playing "My Generation".

After another intermission "to settle the rabid punters", during which the crowd was hosed with water by staff, Limp Bizkit performed the final song of their set, "Nookie".

[5] The Coroner's Court of New South Wales findings into her death criticized the crowd control measures in use at the time, as well as Limp Bizkit lead singer Fred Durst for his "alarming and inflammatory" comments during the rescue effort.

[6] The band Grinspoon (Michalik's favourite) performed at her funeral,[7] and a "minute of noise" tribute had been observed at subsequent Big Day Out festivals.
