Festival goers are seen exiting NRG Park on day one of the Astroworld Music Festival on Friday, Nov. 5, 2021, in Houston.
The Texas Task Force on Concert Safety will be led by Texas Music Office Director Brendon Anthony and will hold roundtable discussions with the goal of enhancing security at future concerts across the state, the governor said. The task force will then produce a list of recommendations and strategies “to ensure the tragedy that occurred at Astroworld never happens again,” according to Abbott.
