HOUSTON – Live Nation, the owner of the nationally renowned Gorge Amphitheater outside of Quincy, faces at least two civil lawsuits after eight people died at a concert they organized in Houston Texas on Friday. The event was the 2021 Astroworld Festival where investigators say tragedy unfolded when the crowd rushed the stage during a performance, squeezing people literally to death. Thirteen victims remained hospitalized Sunday. Live Nation has reportedly been cited about a dozen times for negligence.
