While attendee count was several thousand below the official capacity rating of the site, we never want anyone to feel uncomfortable or unsafe at the show.”
The post continues with:“The safety and well-being of our fans, artists, guests and staff is paramount,” their statement continues. “We will continue to work with public officials and our operations team to improve the experience, layout, and ultimately create a better environment for everyone.”
