(WBAP/KLIF) – Days after the deadliest shooting in U.S. History was carried out at a country music festival in Las Vegas, officials with the Austin City Limits Music Festival are offering refunds for people who aren’t comfortable with attending the concert.
Over 75,000 people are expected to pack the open air venue in Austin, Texas.
Statement from C3 Presents, producers of Austin City Limits Music Festival:
Our thoughts and prayers are with our colleagues and everyone in Las Vegas who was affected by this terrible tragedy.
Safety has always been our top priority. Our staff and security team works year-round with the Austin Police Department, Austin Fire Department, Austin-Travis County EMS, and other authorities to plan and rehearse security and response plans. Over the years, tighter security measures have been implemented at ACL Fest including a layered security plan that includes elements that are seen and unseen, as well as pat downs, bag searches and size limits, and an enhanced security and law enforcement presence inside and outside the festival.
We look forward to Austin City Limits Music Festival over the next two weekends.
