After a delay, the band left the stage and an announcement was made that the show was called off because of an electrical fire. On Saturday morning, RodeoHouston posted the following message about the Zeiders show. “Howdy! We are excited to host RODEOHOUSTON and welcome Warren Zeiders today as scheduled. The stage will be operating as normal, and we will host all activities in the stadium and on the ground as originally planned. For those who attended the Journey concert, we’ll follow up with more information soon.Thanks, and see y’all at the Show!”The Journey concert was canceled during the fourth song of the show. When the audio cut out during “Don’t Stop Believin’,” fans kept singing the song’s lyrics until it was clear that the sing-along wasn’t part of the show. You can see that in the videos below. RodeoHouston said they’ll post information about how they’ll make it up to fans on their social media accounts.Here’s the moment the Journey show cut out due to a technical fire.
