Drug related incidents continue to rock the EDM world after 36 people were hospitalized following an Avicii gig in Boston.
A further 50 attendees were treated on site, with police officials blaming the casualties on circulation of a "dangerous substance". It is also being reffered to as a "mass casualty" event, despite symptoms of use being described as minor and the majority of those taken ill being underage.
