What happened at the Astroworld Festival

Travis Scott was among the headliners at the Astroworld Festival last year that took place in Houston. During Scott’s set, people got pushed towards the set and there was a crowd surge. 10 people died in the incident, of which the youngest was nine years old.

Subsequently, the rapper's performances at Day N Vegas and Coachella got canceled. Scott, in an interview, previously noted that he was not aware of the crowd surge until after his set concluded. The rapper stated being unable to hear his fans screaming and that the Houston police allowed him to continue his set for 40 minutes despite the concert turning into a mass casualty event.

Travis Scott has since made appearances in private engagements in recent months, including a Coachella afterparty.
