14 people hospitalized at Chainsmokers concert in California
Authorities said 14 concertgoers were taken to hospitals after the outdoor show as emergency crews requested 14 ambulances and additional medical units.
On Friday, September 4, 14 people were transported to local hospitals during an outdoor concert by The Chainsmokers at Discovery Meadow in San Jose, California, after the San Jose Fire Department responded to reports of multiple patients requiring medical attention at 8:22 p.m.
Police told NBC Bay Area that concertgoers were treated for "suspected alcohol intoxication and drug-related issues," while the San Jose Fire Department immediately deployed an Ambulance Task Force, additional advanced life support fire units, and a Battalion Chief.
At least 10 attendees were taken to the hospital during the final 30 minutes of the show, with a total of 14 ambulances responding to transport patients requiring urgent care.
No arrests were reported following the incident, and The Chainsmokers have not publicly addressed the situation at press time despite the significant medical response required.
The duo continued their US tour on Saturday, September 5, performing at the Encore Beach Club in Las Vegas as part of a residency following a summer featuring appearances at Lollapalooza and other major festivals.
