Journey Forced to Cut Houston Show Short Due to Fire Under the Stage

Published March 18, 2025

Journey fans at the Houston Rodeo got a surprise when the band's March 14th performance was cut short due to an electrical fire underneath the stage.

Drummer Deen Castronovo took to Facebook after the incident, writing, "Hey, Houston! An act of God tonight! Fire broke out underneath the stage—right under my drum riser. I was literally on fire for 4 ½ songs, all the power cables melted, and the show was a BUST!"

The fire erupted in the middle of their iconic hit "Don't Stop Believin'," prompting the evacuation of nearly 72,000 fans. Thankfully, no injuries were reported.

While the night didn’t go as planned, Castronovo assured fans the band will be back, saying, "That doesn’t mean we won’t be back soon, because we love you all—and WE WILL RETURN! #dontstopbelievin God bless you all!”
