“We will continue to develop new measures, in conjunction with the venues we work with, to ensure the safety of all concertgoers,” the statement continued. “Music is our passion and will continue to be the focus of the business we love.”

According to the Boston Herald, officials at NV Concepts are considering partnering with sobriety organizations at future events, or with artists on anti-drug campaigns.
