Looks like fun! Little do these unsuspecting rock music-lovers realize that a deadly culture lurks at the festival, eager to kill them…
The final day of New York City’s Electric Zoo Festival, held over Labor Day weekend since 2009, was canceled due to “serious health risks,” according to a release from NYC government.
The reason? Two fans died and at least four became “critically ill” during the first two days of the festival on Randall’s Island. The statement from Fortress Bloomberg explained that the reason for the cancellation was “serious health risks.” Jeffrey Russ, 24 and Olivia Rotondo, 20, both died after ingesting the drug ecstasy.
The organizers posted, “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.” Thousands of non-illegal drug-users who planned their holiday around the festival have been sent home.
