According to the post, fans who had previously purchased tickets to see Kix Brooks and Ronnie Dunn will be able to use them on the new date. Fans were also allowed to request refunds at the point of purchase if unable to attend, while new tickets were also made available.
Texas Tech President Lawrence Schovanec sent an email to students and their families Wednesday night confirming that a 'manhole' tunnel explosion caused a fire to spread on the campus, 'leading to outages' in different areas of the school. 'Electricity and gas were shut down across both the Texas Tech and Health Sciences Center campuses in Lubbock to keep the fire from spreading further,' read the Wednesday statement. 'The fire was successfully extinguished Wednesday evening.'
Brooks & Dunn is scheduled to perform at Austin's Moody Center on Friday and Corpus Christi's American Bank Center on Saturday before returning to Lubbock next week. The group is set to continue their Neon Moon Tour's first leg through late April. The tour is named after their 1992 hit of the same name.

How to get Paul McCartney tickets: Denver, Las Vegas, Chicago, and more
With three years having passed since the start of Paul McCartney's Got Back Tour, and a similar amount of time since he last did a North American leg, the legend is back on this side of the pond and ready to hit the stage for his eager audience. The Got Back Tour kicks off in September with a show in Palm Desert, California, and is set to run for 19 performances. With his long-running tour not having had North American shows in some time, it's no surprise that tickets are nearing sold-out status already. Luckily, there are still a few avenues available if you're looking for how to buy tickets to Paul McCartney's 2025 Got Back Tour stops. The Got Back Tour, which originally began in 2022, saw Paul McCartney join with the likes of Rusty Anderson on guitar, Brian Ray on guitar and bass, Paul "Wix" Wickens on keyboards, and Abe Laboriel Jr. on drums, along with the brass trio Hot City Horns. The original tour was set to wrap up after 14 stops; however, due to the great success it saw, McCartney announced he would extend it. These extensions continued into both 2023 and 2024, where the star took to the stage across Australia, Europe, and South America. 2025 marks his much-anticipated return to North America, and presently, the tour is set to finish up in November. We've got you covered if you're looking to score tickets to see Paul McCartney's much-anticipated Got Back Tour 2025 North American leg this fall. Here's our breakdown of Paul McCartney's tour schedule, purchasing details, and price comparisons between original and resale tickets. You can also look at ticket details at your leisure on StubHub and Vivid Seats. Paul McCartney's 2025 tour schedule The second North American leg of Paul McCartney's Got Back Tour will kick off on September 29 in Palm Desert, California, and run through November 25. It will culminate in two days of performances in Chicago, Illinois. Follow our WhatsApp channel and Instagram for more deals and buying guides.

Please check Ticketmaster for the most up-to-date information regarding original ticket availability. Tickets are also available from verified resale vendors such as StubHub and Vivid Seats. As remaining original tickets are extremely limited, you may have better luck securing your preferred seat from these sites instead. How much are Paul McCartney tickets?

For shows with original tickets remaining, the prices on Ticketmaster range from around $150 to just over $1,000, depending on the venue's seating layout.

Who is opening for Paul McCartney's tour? Currently, there is no information released on whether Paul McCartney will have an opening act for the 2025 North American leg of his Got Back Tour. His previous legs did not have openers, and as McCartney typically does not have opening acts for his solo performances, it is unlikely that there will be one for the upcoming tour leg. When the show begins, it will be Paul McCartney taking the stage. Will there be international tour dates? Paul McCartney's 2025 Got Back Tour does not have any international dates scheduled. The Got Back Tour first began in 2022 and previously made tour stops across Europe, Australia, and South America. As his 2025 leg is North America-focused, all the scheduled tour stops will be in the US and Canada. The tour is currently scheduled to finish in November with McCartney's November 25 performance in Chicago.

Rob Manfred makes big baseball fandom admission
As it turns out, Rob Manfred has been a Yankees fan all along. The MLB commissioner set the baseball world abuzz by sharing on Monday's 'Pardon My Take' show that he grew up a fan of the Bronx Bombers, and still watches them on a nightly basis. 'I watch a lot of baseball. I grew up a Yankee fan. I watch a lot of Yankee games, still,' Manfred said. 'I try to balance that off with equal time with the Mets because I live in New York, but most nights I'm flipping between Yankees or Mets, and the Extra Innings package to follow what's going on in the rest of the league.' Advertisement 4 Rob Manfred shared on Monday's 'Pardon My Take' that he grew up a Yankees fan. @TalkinBaseball_/X Manfred, 66, is from Rome, N.Y., near Utica, where he apparently sparked his fandom with the Yankees' success in the 1960s and '70s. Baseball fans immediately took to social media when they saw the news, with countless users cracking jokes about Manfred rigging the league for the Yankees. Advertisement 'Is he still giving the Yankees juiced balls to play with?' wrote one fan. 'Well that does explain a lot,' added another. 4 Rob Manfred said he still regularly watches Yankees games. Brett Davis-Imagn Images Advertisement Manfred is the only of the four North American sports commissioners to openly share their allegiance to a team in the league they govern. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell grew up a supporter of the then-Redskins in the Washington, D.C. area, but he said he gave up his fandom when he began working at the league office in the 1980s. NHL head man Gary Bettman and NBA commissioner Adam Silver grew up Rangers and Knicks fans, respectively, but neither have spoken about still following those teams in their current roles. 4 The American League All-Stars stand for the national anthem before the 2025 MLB All Star Game at Truist Park. Jordan Godfree-Imagn Images Advertisement 4 Rob Manfred has been MLB commissioner since 2015. IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters Connect Manfred, who began working for MLB during collective bargaining in 1987, has held his role as commissioner since 2015, when he assumed office in place of the retiring Bud Selig.
