BILLBOARD: Austin City Limits After Las Vegas: Attendees & Performers Talk Festival Safety, Refunds & Not Giving In to Fear

ust over a week has passed since a gunman opened fire on attendees at Las Vegas' Route 91 Harvest country music festival as they watched Jason Aldeanperform. With 58 killed and hundreds injured, the attack sparked national conversations about how to define terrorism, enacting stricter gun control measures, and festival safety. 

Those dialogues inevitably continued throughout the debut weekend of Austin City Limits 2017 (Oct. 6-8), which was the first major U.S. music festival since the Las Vegas shooting. Among participating artists, workers and patrons, the tone almost unanimously veered toward a defiantly optimistic sentiment in the face of the attack.
