It is not a stadium, not a concert hall. These mega rock concerts put it at risk, including the Palatine Hill nearby. Rock concerts should be held in stadiums so as not to endanger public safety."People also responded to the concert incident by reacting on social media, particularly on X (formerly known as Twitter). Many condemned the incident, with some drawing comparisons with the Astroworld 2021 festival tragedy. A few others came out in the singer's support, claiming it was not his fault that the incident took place.Bryce Kurosaki@bigbogan99Travis Scott after the Astroworld tragedy pic.twitter.com/HVabOtMPnN twitter.com/rapalert6/stat…71Travis Scott after the Astroworld tragedy pic.twitter.com/HVabOtMPnN twitter.com/rapalert6/stat…SANCHO MWITU⚫🔴@Kibisu8Ye caused an earthquake in Rome?
