ODESZA was wrapping-up their tour at the legendary Gorge Amphitheatre in Washington Saturday night when pyrotechnics led to a brush fire.
According to Seattle’s Fox News 13, the Grant County Sheriff’s Office confirmed that a blaze broke out in a small area near the George venue during ODESZA’s last song. The fire was quickly extinguished, however, the show was cancelled, and attendees were evacuated from the venue.
“During the last song of ODESZA’s set at the Gorge, a brush fire broke out not too far from the stage,” the venue said in a statement. “The fire was contained and fortunately was quickly extinguished. Out of an abundance of caution and safety, the show ended without an encore. We truly appreciate everyone coming tonight and celebrating the end of the tour.”
The Seattle Times reported that the state Department of Natural Resources cited fire danger in the region was “very high” ahead of show. Additionally, the venue posted a high heat warning, advising fans to “please stay hydrated.”
