ESA Vice President Steven Adelman Discusses the Texas Task Force on Concert Safety Report with Houston Public Media

A task force formed after November's deadly Astroworld Festival has presented recommendations on how Texas can avoid future tragedies. In a nine-page report, the Texas Task Force on Concert Safety recommends standardizing statewide the permitting process for such events, creating benchmarks that would trigger an event's cancellation, and streamlining and clarifying the chain of command for local authorities at such events. ESA Vice President Steven Adelman and Task Force Lead Brendon Anthony joined Houston Public Media’s Houston Matters program to discuss the report and what it means for event producers moving forward.
