A significant number of concertgoers sought medical assistance during an electronic music performance by The Chainsmokers at Discovery Meadow in San Jose on Friday evening. Emergency responders received multiple calls for help at approximately 8:22 p.m., prompting the local fire department to mobilize substantial resources to manage the situation.
The San Jose Fire Department deployed an expanded emergency response team that included additional ambulances and advanced life support units, along with a Battalion Chief to oversee operations. In total, 14 patients were transported to nearby medical facilities for treatment and observation.
According to law enforcement officials, the medical emergencies were linked to substance-related complications experienced by attendees. Police attributed many of the incidents to suspected problems stemming from alcohol and drug consumption at the venue. The specific health status of those hospitalized was not disclosed to the public.
The concert continued without interruption despite the medical incidents. The musical group has not issued any official statement regarding the events, though they shared video content from the performance through their social media channels.
