\"Chainsmokers<\/a><\/p>\n

Over a dozen people were hospitalized during a Chainsmokers concert in San Jose due to \u201csuspected alcohol intoxication and drug-related issues.\u201d It\u2019s the latest unfortunate meltdown for the touring EDM duo.<\/p>\n

On Friday night, at least 14 people were hospitalized<\/a> during a Chainsmokers concert at Discovery Meadows in San Jose, California, per details emerging from social media and first responders. The San Jose Fire Department said they got calls about \u201cmultiple patients requiring medical attention\u201d at around 8:22 PM on September 4.<\/p>\n

\u201cSJFD immediately requested an Ambulance Task Force, two additional life support fire units, and a Battalion Chief to manage the incident and provide additional medical resources,\u201d the department shared. \u201cA total of 14 ambulances responded, and 14 patients were transported to local hospitals.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s still unclear what caused the influx of medical episodes or if there\u2019s any connection between the people involved. San Jose police told the media<\/a> that multiple individuals were treated at the park for \u201csuspected alcohol intoxication and drug-related issues.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to the fire department, 14 ambulances were called to the scene<\/a>, and 14 people were taken to the hospital. It has yet to be revealed what prompted the calls or what conditions the people were in when they arrived at the hospital.<\/p>\n

The concert began at 5 PM and wrapped after 10:30 PM.<\/p>\n

\u201cI saw a lot of people crash out,\u201d wrote one attendee on Reddit. \u201cA few people did not look like they were gonna make it. You gotta know how to handle your drugs if you\u2019re gonna do them.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Chainsmokers\u2014Alex Pall and Drew Taggart\u2014posted concert footage on Instagram on Sunday but have made no mention of the incident.<\/p>\n

Worryingly, the San Jose incident isn\u2019t the only recent Chainsmokers show that resulted in multiple fans going to the hospital.<\/p>\n

Last month, at Splash House\u2019s After Hours event at the Palm Springs Air Museum, seven people were rushed to the emergency room after a fight broke out and bottles were tossed into the crowd. Police said that nine people were injured in total, with some getting cut by broken glass.<\/p>\n

The Grammy Award-winning EDM duo are known for songs like \u201cCloser,\u201d \u201cDon\u2019t Let Me Down,\u201d and \u201cSomething Just Like This.\u201d They have over 52 million monthly listeners on Spotify.<\/p>\n
