14 Hospitalized During The Chainsmokers’ San Jose Concert

At least 14 people were hospitalized Friday during The Chainsmokers’ concert in San Jose, California.

The San Jose Fire Department (SJFD) confirmed on social media that they responded to over a dozen calls for assistance during the EDM duo’s performance at Discovery Meadow. “At 8:22 p.m. on Friday, September 4, the San José Fire Department responded to an outdoor concert at Discovery Meadow for reports of multiple patients requiring medical attention,” the department stated.

The emergency response was significant, requiring specialized resources to manage the crowd and patient care. “SJFD immediately requested an Ambulance Task Force, two additional advanced life support fire units, and a Battalion Chief to manage the incident and provide additional medical resources. A total of 14 ambulances responded, and 14 patients were transported to local hospitals,” officials reported.

While the fire department did not specify the exact nature of the medical emergencies, local law enforcement informed NBC Bay Area that several individuals were treated for suspected alcohol intoxication and drug-related issues.

The condition of those hospitalized remains undisclosed. The Chainsmokers, whose performance continued despite the medical incidents, have not yet issued a formal statement regarding the situation, though they did share footage from the event on social media.
