Bomb Threat Cancels A Concert In Austin, At SXSW

Austin, which has been struck by a series of handmade bombs in the last few weeks, is on edge, so when the promotion company Live Nation said it had gotten an emailed bomb threat, the police took it seriously. They “scoured the area around the Fair Market venue, where a ‘Bud Light x The Roots & Friends Jam’ showcase was scheduled for that evening, and found no threat. But Bud Light opted to cancel the event.” A suspect for the threat (but not for the other bombs) was later arrested.
