Early Voting Begins, Fire Danger Persists, and Shinedown Sets Lubbock Tour Stop

It’s a busy stretch across the Hub City, with ballots, brush fires and big tour news all making headlines.

Early Voting Underway in Lubbock County

Early voting for the March primary election begins Tuesday across Lubbock County. Multiple polling locations are open, giving residents several options to cast their ballots ahead of Election Day.

Local coverage this weekend also spotlighted key races, including Lubbock County Judge and County Clerk. Candidate Q&As and ballot breakdowns are helping voters sort through priorities ranging from county budgeting to records management.

Voters are encouraged to double-check polling locations and hours before heading out, as some sites may vary by date.

High Winds Fuel Grass Fires

Fire crews have responded to several grass fires around Lubbock as strong winds and dry conditions continue to elevate fire danger. A recent blaze near North Quaker Avenue was quickly contained, but officials say the risk remains high.

Weather alerts in place this week warn of gusty conditions that can rapidly spread flames. Residents are urged to avoid outdoor burning and to secure trailer chains and other equipment that could spark fires along roadways.

With spring winds picking up, first responders are staying on alert for additional flare-ups.

Shinedown Announces Lubbock Tour Stop

On a lighter note, rock band Shinedown has announced a new album and world tour — and Lubbock is on the schedule. The group is set to perform in the Hub City as part of its upcoming run, adding another major concert to the local calendar.

The announcement has already generated buzz among fans, with ticket details expected soon. It continues a steady lineup of touring acts making their way through West Texas this year.
