Many people attending Swedish DJ’s Boston dance music show hospitalized over ‘medical issues’
BOSTON – Boston emergency medical authorities say many people who attended an electronic dance music show featuring Swedish disc jockey Avicii (ah-VEE’-chee) at the TD Garden arena showed up intoxicated and several have been hospitalized.
TD Garden spokeswoman Tricia McCorkle says at Wednesday night’s Avicii concert “there were a number of transports due to medical issues.”
Emergency Medical Service Deputy Superintendent Mike Bosse tells the Boston Herald that EMS took 22 people to the hospital and a dozen more were under evaluation. He says he contacted the Boston Police Licensing Division, which cited the TD Garden for allowing lots of intoxicated concertgoers to enter.
A spokeswoman for Avicii hasn’t returned an email seeking comment.
