36 People Hospitalized During Avicii's Boston Show Last Night

Another 50 attendees were treated for drug and alcohol complications on the spot.

The first leg of Avicii's latest tour ended in mayhem last night when over 80 attendees at Boston's TG Garden experienced complications with drugs and alcohol. According to the Boston Globe, 50 were treated at the venue for minor symptoms, while another 36 were taken to the hospital. There were no fatalities. In May, 29 people were hospitalized during an Avicii gig in Toronto, and this episode exacerbates concerns that, as the Globe reports, "large incidents involving drug and alcohol problems are common at techno concerts."
