NY Department Of Health Launching Investigation Into The Chainsmokers’ Drive-In Show

Earlier today, The Chainsmokers started trending on Twitter (with over 65k tweets near its peak) for their charity show in the Hamptons this past weekend. With tickets available up to $25,000, one could say the charity portion of the event was a success. Unfortunately, videos and photos of the show demonstrate “egregious social distancing violations,” say NY Governor Andrew Cuomo, and he is “appalled.”

As a result, the NY Department of Health is launching an investigation into the event.

“We have no tolerance for the illegal & reckless endangerment of public health,” Cuomo said.

At time of publishing, The Chainsmokers have not said anything about the event or its lack of social distancing amid COVID-19.

Videos from a concert held in Southampton on Saturday show egregious social distancing violations. I am appalled.

The Department of Health will conduct an investigation.
