Explosion at Texas Tech Triggers Concert Rescheduling, Evacuations

Brooks & Dunn's concert scheduled for March 13 at Texas Tech University in Lubbock has been postponed to March 20 due to an explosion that occurred on campus, leading to evacuations and power outages. The explosion happened in a maintenance hole at the Engineering Key section, prompting a response from Lubbock Fire Rescue, who discovered smoke and fire from multiple manhole covers. The university announced that all previously purchased tickets will remain valid for the rescheduled date, with refunds available for those unable to attend. This incident has also resulted in an early start to Spring Break for students, originally set to begin on Monday. Despite the setback, Brooks & Dunn will continue their 2025 Neon Moon Tour with performances in Austin and Corpus Christi on March 15 and 16, respectively. Fortunately, no injuries have been reported, and the investigation into the cause of the explosion is ongoing.
