Electric Zoo music festival tightens security in NYC



Dr. Sapna Parikh


NEW YORK -- Heightened security is in place for a New York City music festival where two people died last year.

Electric Zoo officials said they're beefing up plainclothes security, and using off-duty and former NYPD officers with a background in drug investigations.

"We have done a huge amount of investment to make sure that our fans are as safe as humanly possible," said Stefan Friedman, spokesman.

I haven't been to a music festival in years, and problems like they've had in the past are what make it difficult for others to host them.
