The duo took the stage at Discovery Meadow on Sept. 4.
Fourteen concertgoers were hospitalized after The Chainsmokers' outdoor concert at Discovery Meadow in San Jose, California, on Friday, September 4. The San Jose Fire Department responded to the scene at 8:22 p.m. and requested additional medical resources, ultimately transporting 14 patients to local hospitals. Paramedics treated additional attendees throughout the concert, with at least 10 people requiring care during the final 30 minutes.
