Will a concussive blast wave from an explosion actually travel through the vacuum of outer space?

No, it won't. That's because the concussive blast wave (and sound, too, for that matter) requires a medium to travel through. That medium must conduct (carry or transfer) the energy of the wave. No mechanical medium equals no mechanical wave. However, if there are components of the blast that involve light or other kinds of electromagnetic radiation, those components will travel through the vacuum of space. They will not have the concussive impact that earth-bound waves will have.
