A new video shows a firework exploding into the crowd during the Life is Beautiful Music Festival in Las Vegas on Sunday, Sept. 23.
Odesza was close to finishing its set when it launched a massive firework display, but one of the explosions went off into the crowd.
Two people were injured, one of them hit in the stomach and one in the eye, law enforcement sources told TMZ. Attendees said one of those injured was a female.
The explosion was caused when one of the pyrotechnics fell over when a firework unit malfunctioned, causing the firework to shoot out, the sources said.

@lifeisbeautiful @odesza I was having a great time until a rogue firework literally exploded in front of our faces – is anyone going to accept responsibility?
