Organisers of Victoria’s Falls Festival have admitted their conduct was at fault for a crush that injured more than 70 people in 2016.

Ash Sounds, which runs the Lorne based festival each summer, is facing a class action for damages over the December 2016 incident, when a stampede of people tried to leave the grand theatre between acts.

The court is yet to rule on what, if any, damages will be paid to those injured.
