Chaos and Discontent at Texas Music Festival 'Live at the Station'
The inaugural Live at the Station Festival in Texas faced traffic issues, causing hours-long backups and interruptions in performances due to ill festivalgoers. Some attendees compared the event to the failed Fyre Festival and called for refunds. Organizers acknowledged the traffic flow and water availability issues and stated they are working to improve the festival for its 2024 edition. Concerns were raised about the lack of organization, lighting, and cell service in the parking area. The event's traffic engineer mentioned adjustments to routes for future festivals, and a four-lane road is planned for the 2024 event. The festival took place in Burleson County, and the county judge expressed concerns about injuries, arrests, and traffic, stating that serious issues need to be addressed before another event permit is approved.
