DVBBS heeft officieel gereageerd op de gebeurtenissen en hebben geschokt gereageerd op het gebeurde. Ze verklaren geen relatie met de meisjes te hebben ondanks de 'marihuana gerelateerde zaken'. Ze beloven zich bereid de politie te helpen bij het oplossen van de zaak. Ze geven aan 'in gedachten bij de slachtoffers en hun familie te zijn'.
Ongeacht de uitkomst van het politieonderzoek, lijkt het erop dat er nu al gevolgen zijn voor DVBBS: hun aanstaande optreden op Sziget Festival in Hongarije is geannuleerd. Dit festival is mede opgericht door dezelfde organisatoren als Balaton Sound.

Update
Nieuwe berichten van Hongarije's '444' suggereren dat maar liefst 6 meisjes, waarvan 3 bewusteloos, zijn gevonden in kleedkamer van DVBBS.
Naar verluidt betrad het personeel van het Balaton Festival de kleedkamer nadat de groep was vertrokken en daar troffen ze drie bewusteloze meisjes aan waarvan er eentje dringend hulp nodig had. Personeel heeft verklaard dat er nog drie andere meisjes in de ruimte aanwezig waren, maar dat deze bang vertrokken voor de ambulance en de autoriteiten ter plaatse waren. Hoewel de meisjes met spoed naar het ziekenhuis werden vervoerd, bleek het uiteindelijk mee te vallen en waren geen grote medische ingrepen nodig.
Een aantal meisjes zijn ondervraagd, maar de meeste kunnen zich niet veel meer herinneren.

Update
De organisatie van Balaton Sound is met een verklaring gekomen:
Dear Visitors,
As you have certainly heard of, on 9 July, Saturday, at Balaton Sound, in the backstage of the venue's mainstage a number of people invited by DVBBS became sick under undignified circumstances which are still to be cleared. They needed medical attention and some of them were hospitalized. They were found by our staff after DVBBS had left the venue. (It is important to note that the backstage is a closed area and may only be accessed by the organizers, the performers, and their guests.)
Both as organizers and human beings we find it unacceptable that such a situation could have occurred. As a consequence, we cancelled DVBBS's upcoming show at Sziget Festival.
The site where the events had taken place was examined by the police and some of the people present gave testimonies as witnesses. According to today's police inquiry, an investigation is in progress against unknown person for the suspicion of sexual violence.
During the last couple of days there were a great quantity of news, opinion, and speculation in the press and social media in connection with the case, while on the other hand, the clarification of the facts is still in progress. All this confirms our belief that DVBBS's performance at Sziget Festival in August cannot be undertaken. Needless to say, the cancellation is not to be (and cannot be) interpreted as a judgement in the question of the performers' legal responsibility for the incident, because the legal clarification of the events exclusively belongs to the competency of the police.
With regard to the official proceedings we shall not make further comments on the events publicly, however we felt it important to share the above information with you and the general public.
Our thoughts are with the girls, we wish them quick recovery!
With love, the organizers of Balaton Sound
