It’s been two years since tragedy and devastation struck Route 91 Harvest music festival in Las Vegas. This day will never be the same for the victims, families, or the artists it affected.
Today, some of the country artists that played the festival — Jason Aldean, Jake Owen, and Chris Young — are remembering the lives of those lost on that fateful day, October 1, 2017. The horrific, senseless act of violence, which we still know very little about, took the lives of 59 people (including the shooter) and injured hundreds more.
For these artists, the surviving attendees, and the families and loved ones of those affected, there’s not a day that goes by without remembering Route 91. Especially not this day.
Our hearts go out to the Route 91 family today. Read some of the tweets from the country headliners below.

There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t count my blessings and also think about the 58 men and women who lost their lives a couple years ago on October 1st. Sending my thoughts, prayers and love to all those out there that have felt the loss and effects of that night. Love u
