Stage Collapse

There was another Sugarland Concert Friday night in Indianapolis.  And this one can only be described as bittersweet.  Of course, we're talking about healing after the tragic stage collapse at the Indiana State Fair.

As promised, Sugarland are returning to Indiana for a show in honor of the seven killed and dozens injured when the stage collapsed before an August show at the Indiana State Fair. Friday night’s concert at the Conseco Fieldhouse will benefit the Indiana State Fair Remembrance Fund.

The last time they scheduled a show in Indiana, Sugarland made headlines for all the wrong reasons, suffering a horrific stage collapse that claimed the lives of seven concertgoers and injured more than 40 others. At the time, they promised they’d be back to perform a free show — and now they’re making good on that promise by adding a new show.

Word out of Indianapolis is that Sugarland will be performing a free concert on Friday, October 28th.  While the concert is going to be free to the public, donations will be encrouraged to help defray expenses for those tragically killed or injured when the stage collapsed just before their Indiana State Fair concert some 11 weeks ago.

Just a week after the tragedy that claimed six lives at the fair, an Indiana law firm has filed two  lawsuits on behalf of victims and their families.
