I went to thms event and I can honestly say this night was one of the most shocking
nights lye ever had, a little traumatIc even. I am of age and I go to a lot of events anc
raves like this, I’ve always known about the use of drugs at them, and figured since
there were going to be people of all ages I ddnt expect to see most people on drugs. I
don’t know if I was magning this all but it seemed that most of the underage people
there were not drinking...they were clearly on drugs. Some of them looked to be as
young as IS. I saw girls that young tripping out and puking all over the place. Security
also didn’t even look in my purse when I was going in and I saw people buying drugs
everywhere I looked. The whole situation really bothered me and lam deeply disturbed.
I would never go to an all ages rave again because seeing that many kids running
around sweating and being unable to contro; themselves really scared me. I was
rncredibly uncomfortable with it the whole time,

The mority of those wnc were intoxicated looked underage. People were drinleng and
consuming drugs in tine and in plain sight while waiting to enter the centre. Security did
a very poor job at the doors, as most were let in without being searched. I could’ve
walked right in with a 26er and I should’ve considering they cut off alcohol services at
10pm. I watched many servers selling dec50 to those with ID’s but watched as many
of those with IDs hand alcohol off to melr frrends without ID’s right in ffont of the
servers. Poor management all around, made ft dtsappoinling for those wanting to enjoy
the show and consume alcoho responsrb.y.

“Unfortunately we have a few kids.. excessive alcohol and partying and they cant handle it.”
According to paramedics live people were in serious condition, but all are expected to fully recover.
Further painting a picture of the context and scene of last nights concert, paramedics said people
began falling ill outside Rogers Centre before AvicH even came out on stage.
Rogers Centre provided its own medics for the concert, so EMS was not on standby, but the staff at
the 20,000-seat venue quickly became “overwhelmed’ by the number of sick patrons and called
upon EMS to for assistance.

Over the weekend, satire and rcallty mirrored themselves a little too closely.
On Saturday Night Live’s season finale, host Andy Samberg produced a pitch
perfect excoriation of contemporary EDM culture. lie portrayed an overpaid
Ill named “Dawineii,” likely modeled after Swedish superstar DJ Tim
Bergling, a.ka. Avicii, and spooled a culture where thc DJ does little actual
music-making, and the audience just waits for the bass to drop. When the bass
does drop, several fans’ heads literally explode.
That same night, in Toronto, Bergling played a gig at Rogers Centre, where 29
people were hospitalized.
While no heads exploded, seven! coneertgoers were thought to have become
ill after Thverdosthg” on alcohol and/or drugs. Toronto EMS claimed they
transported io people to the hospital, but the Rogers Centre also had its owii
medics on standby for the sold-out, all ages show, and other reports claim 29
people were sent to the hospital, after the venue become ovenchelmed” with
sick fans. ‘lhcrc i’as one arrest.
‘!‘hcre were no reported deaths, but Toronto city council member Giorgio
Mammoliti did place the blame with the promoter for making it all ages. In a
press release, he said:
‘This only proves that it doesn’t matter whether these
events are held on privately owned or government lands,
they are dangerous events to hold as ‘all-ages,’ allowing
kids to be present.”
Bergling didn’t mention the incident in his tweets from the night, but it’s
possible he didn’t find out about it.

Went last second to the avicH rave”. 1) skydome sucks for anything edm
related 2) 90 percent of the crowd was under 19. 3) their liquor license was
suspended by the time I got there (10:30)4) the amount of ambulances on
blue Jays way was ridiculous 6) avicii sucked, was a Mashup between his
tracks and ‘bangers” and he didni play evels lol 6) the only thing I actually
enjoyed w1lere the flame bursts
Here’s a photo to recap the shitty 1.5 hours I was there.

Sandrin Fernando Kyle Urneback as a teen, as a high schooter. en they
go to rave or a SOM test/show. A good chunk don’t care who plays they just go
so they can get their hands on some MDMA or blew or w.e and get tucked up.
The others go br the artist and for me music but to the too drugs are their first
priority. Then you got a small percentage mat enjoy music.

When I went to sound academy to, Dada Life Compound last month dur-ng
One’s set I sat down to take a breather in tie bathroom cause I csuCn sit
anywhere else, and I had been feeling a Ittle nauseous that morning..
Non-stop I had guys walking by me asking if I was teeing alright Mien I
was pedectly fine, not puking at all, and I was shocked by how good people
were being aheut it and respected. Rut on the Flip stde when you look at it
through this image, I’m baffled, who can walk by take pictures and ignore
this? Sure she s probably 16, but it’s not an excuse to ignore it and not help
her get better.

With all the Avich posts about people getting carted off by paramedics, I’m
still wondering how this is sort of a behaviour is real a shock to people in
2014. The same thing happens at events that are 19+, if not more so, yet
people are claiming that this is an issue with “kids”. The larger issue hem is
the fact that people are hieling their addiction to drugs just to ha present at
an event, listening to music which they probably don’t care for, then ending
up in a hospital. We’re supposed to feel bad for that? K. Like anything in
life, people need to learn through error. It’s an opportunity for them to
mature.
The EDM scene is over-saturated with people who have the lQ of peacock.
This is what happens. Life goes on.
