The stabbing happened at the Chicago show last night (8/8) at Huntington Bank Pavilion at Northerly Island. NBC Chicago reports that “the two victims were arguing with their attacker in a bar area that 'spilled out into the venue' about 9:20 p.m.”
They continue to report that a 29-year-old man was stabbed in both the neck and the face while the woman was stabbed in the stomach. However, it appears that both were taken to the hospital and will be okay.
There were security measures in place at the concert which included a metal detector along with fans having their bags checked before they were able to enter the venue.
Employees at Huntington Bank Pavilion told NBC Chicago that the pair got into the fight at the merchandise stand before the stabbing occurred.
