Fans of Journey were left in disbelief as their highly anticipated performance at the Houston Rodeo was abruptly halted due to an alarming electrical fire that ignited beneath the stage. This unexpected incident forced the band to cease their show, leading the audience to grapple with the sudden turn of events.

Witness the dramatic moments from the abbreviated concert captured in the video below.

The iconic rock band had just launched into “Don’t Stop Believin’,” the fourth track of their set at the NRG Stadium in Houston, when the power was cut. Just as the song approached its first chorus, the stage power failed, prompting lead singer Arnel Pineda to engage the crowd in a spirited singalong before the band exited the stage.

According to an announcement relayed by the Houston Chronicle, an official stated, “Due to an electrical fire, the show cannot continue.” The venue’s lights were raised, indicating the end of the performance, and around 72,000 concertgoers were required to evacuate the area, leaving many feeling disappointed and concerned.

Fire broke out underneath the stage—right under my drum riser! I was literally on fire for four and a half songs, all the power cables melted, and the show was a BUST!
