A statement on the Electric Zoo website reads: “The founders of Electric Zoo send our deepest condolences to the families of the two people who passed away this weekend. Because there is nothing more important to us than our patrons, we have decided in consultation with the New York City Parks Department that there will be no show today.”
According to the Daily News, “two Electric Zoo attendees died from apparent overdoses of MDMA, nicknamed molly.” In addition to the tragic deaths, at least four more Electric Zoo attendees were treated for drug overdoses at local hospitals. Steve Aoki, Armin Van Buuren, Laidback Luke and Sebastiona Ingrosso were among the acts originally scheduled to perform today at Electric Zoo.
