Six people were taken to hospital after Angine de Poitrine’s huge free show at Montreal Jazz Festival.
The anonymous duo – who also hail from Quebec – played the festival’s TD Stage at Place des Festivals on Saturday night (June 27), drawing one of the biggest crowds in the event’s recent history, with officials saying they had not seen a turnout of that size since Stevie Wonder’s appearance in 2009.
According to Urgences-santé, paramedics assessed 10 people during the event, with six later being transported to hospital and four others refusing transport after being seen by medical teams.
Benjamin Dansereau-Leclerc, head of operations at Urgences-santé, said the calls included falls, traumatic injuries and cases of intoxication. Some of those taken to hospital were described as being in a serious condition, but paramedics said they did not fear for anyone’s life.
