Mumford & Sons at Dickies, Fixe closes, 'The Madison' season 2 | Top service stories
The Star-Telegram service journalism team covered a busy week across Fort Worth entertainment, dining and Texas news. From a concert review to a surprise restaurant closure, here’s a digest of top stories.
- From service journalism editor Jake Harris: Mumford & Sons played a 25-song set Monday night at Dickies Arena to a near-capacity crowd of nearly 14,000, with frontman Marcus Mumford joking about the NBA Finals and World Cup (but no mention of the “Ted Lasso” theme). The Prizefighter tour stop drew heavily from the band’s new album of the same name and their 2009 debut “Sigh No More.”
- From reporter Ella Gonzales: Fixe Southern House in Clearfork closed permanently on Thursday, June 11, after eight years in Fort Worth. Owner Keith House announced the closure via a sign on the door and an emailed statement, but did not give a specific reason. The flagship Fixe restaurant in Austin remains open.
- From reporter Brayden Garcia: The cast of “The Madison,” the Taylor Sheridan-created Paramount+ series filmed partly in North Texas, teased that season 2 will follow the Clyburn family settling deeper into Montana with greater challenges and dangers. Season 2 is expected to premiere early next year.
- From reporter Tiffani Jackson: A Texas man pleaded guilty to shooting a bald eagle at his home in October 2024 and faces up to a year in federal prison and a $100,000 fine when he is sentenced July 30. Bald eagles remain protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act despite being removed from the federal endangered species list in 2007.
