A significant emergency response transported fourteen concertgoers to local hospitals following The Chainsmokers’ outdoor event. The incident occurred during the duo’s September 4th performance at Discovery Meadow where the San Jose Fire Department responded to reports at approximately 8:22PM.
According to the fire department, officials immediately requested an Ambulance Task Force, two additional advanced life-support fire units and a Battalion Chief. The sheer scale of resources mobilized was an impressive enough feat, and authorities cite “suspected alcohol intoxication and drug-related issues” as the main culprit.
The Second Hospitalization Incident in Recent Weeks
The San Jose emergency comes only weeks after a separate Chainsmokers California concert saw multiple injuries.
During the Palm Springs pool party, police responded to a reported assault that led to seven people being rushed to the emergency room. Bottles were reportedly thrown into the crowd resulting in minor injuries and on-the-scene treatment
There is currently no public evidence suggesting the incidents were connected.
As of the latest reports, The Chainsmokers haven’t addressed the San Jose hospitalizations. Representatives for the duo have reportedly been contacted for comment by multiple outlets.
Following the event, the duo have continued their scheduled performances, including a September 5th appearance at Encore Beach Club in Las Vegas just the day after. The group also remains active on social media, sharing footage from their shows, though lacking any acknowledgement of the medical emergency that transpired.
