Maren Morris and Ryan Hurd are heading out on the road together on Maren’s HERO tour. Every artist performing live this weekend will have new thoughts in their minds following this past Sunday’s events at the Route 91 Harvest Festival in Las Vegas. Maren says that things at concert venues started to change even before that due to the incident back in May at an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester, England. Maren says “We’ve definitely had to take bigger precautions since the Manchester incident and crack down on security measures at shows, you even see venues tightening there regulations and rules on bomb dogs, which you know is supposed to make us feel safer, but it still is always a factor. I think sadly now it’s just a facet of what we do is security.” Ryan, who’s opening for Maren, took the security measures for granted before, but now understands all the precautions are needed at every show, “Well you play these huge venues and these festivals and I would never be like, the security is bad here. If anything else, I’ve always felt like its overkill and I mean I see why it needs to be and guys who run these festival it’s honestly their worst nightmare and that’s so sad that it can happen and it can happen to good people and happen to people that are just there to enjoy themselves.” For tour dates for Maren’s HERO tour with opening act Ryan Hurd, check out the schedule at Maren Morris dot com, or click HERE
