The Austin City Limits music festival is offering refunds to anyone uncomfortable with attending following the mass shooting at a country music concert in Las Vegas.
Spokeswoman Sandee Fenton said in an email Tuesday that the three-day outdoor festival will give refunds to fans "who no longer wish to attend." The festival opens Friday and packs Austin, Texas' downtown with about 75,000 people each day.
The offer comes a few days after a gunman opened fire at the Route 91 Harvest Festival in Las Vegas.
Austin City Limits is one of the largest music festivals in the United States. It's headlined this year by Jay Z and the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Austin Interim Police Chief Brian Manley says there will be a high presence of law enforcement at the festival.
This is the same company that produces Lalapalooza. Maybe Malia will be there tokin’ on a joint and writhing on the ground.
The Vegas hotels on the strip are already beefing up security—and inconveniencing their guests big time.
Since there are so many alternatives to Vegas this could hit hard.
I prefer Laughlin myself—tall buildings but smaller crowds. :-)
................I hope your right but I worry that Austin might have a repeat. Indeed, Austin endured the very first mass shooting.
I know,but I’m in Boston and we still go to The Marathon.
My Granddaughter did her semester abroad in Europe early this year-——and traveled all over the place. All went well,and she especially loved London.
We can’t protect them forever.
