Travis Scott And Live Nation Slammed With First Astroworld Lawsuit
Travis Scott has been receiving a lot of backlash since his Astroworld festival resulted in 8 fans dying and hundreds more injured at his Houston music fest.
Lawyers for an Astroworld Festival attendee arranged a lawsuit against Travis Scott and the festival’s organizers Saturday, the first in what will possibly be numerous legal actions against the rapper.

“Defendants failed to properly plan and conduct the concert in a safe manner,” Souza’s attorney Steve Kherkher of the firm Kherkher Garcia LLP stated in the petition. “Instead, they consciously ignored the extreme risks of harm to concertgoers, and, in some cases actively encouraged and fomented dangerous behaviors.”
A lot of fans that were at the festival have spoke out to explain more of what really went down that night. TK Tellez recently spoke out saying, he knows festivals can get crazy, but nothing could compare to a situation like this.
“The crowd became tighter and tighter, and at that point it was hard to breathe. When Travis came out performing his first song, I witnessed people passing out next to me,” Tellez, 20, told CNN.
“We were all screaming for help, and no one helped or heard us. It was horrifying. People were screaming for their lives, and they couldn’t get out. Nobody could move a muscle.”
“Travis Scott would have a short time in between songs, and we would scream our vocal chords out so someone could hear us but nobody did,” Tellez said. “This year’s festival will be stuck with me forever. I’ve never seen someone die in front of my eyes. It was horrific.”
