Almost 30 revellers were hospitalised at Swedish DJ Avicii's gig here.
The concert took place May 17, where fans flocked to the sold-out show, at the 20,000-seat Rogers Centre here. Few concertgoers fell ill even before the DJ began his set, reports contactmusic.com.

Five people were said to be in a serious condition.
