Wave Of Hospitalizations Follows Chainsmokers Show For The Second Time In Less Than A Month

In less than a month, there have been two instances where shows by the DJ duo Chainsmokers have resulted in a wave of people being hospitalized. The first incident occurred on August 9 at the Splash House festival in Palm Springs, where nine people were injured and seven were hospitalized due to bottles flying into the crowd during their Afters set.

Local police stated that the bottles were launched as a result of a dispute that did not involve the injured individuals. Almost a week later, on September 4, a man was arrested in San Jose for his role in the altercation that led to more bottles being thrown. During and after Chainsmokers' show at Discovery Meadow, 14 people ended up in the hospital due to alcohol or drug problems.

When it comes to medical emergencies following a Chainsmokers show, would you prefer alcohol poisoning or being pummeled or lacerated by flying glass bottles?
