In April 2014, Garmendia was scheduled to appear at the Telmex Digital Village in Zócalo, Mexico City. The event experienced an unplanned excess of attendees, and many people waiting in line to see Garmendia fainted due to heat exposure, and had to be evacuated.
Eventually, the crowd became unruly, with attendees forcing their way past barriers and into the tented area, causing many injuries. Ten people were injured when a light element fell into the crowd.
After security regained control of the situation, the crowd was dispersed and Garmendia"s event was cancelled.
He later expressed condolences to his fans for the incident.
