Travis Scott To Refund All Astroworld Attendees After Tragedy — Cancels Day N Vegas Festival Appearance: “Too Distraught To Play”

According to a new report by Variety, Travis Scott will provide full refunds for all attendees who bought tickets to Astroworld, a source told the outlet. This comes days after the chaotic event left 8 people dead and over 300 people injured.

Bryanna Morales, 17, shows a video of the accident at a makeshift memorial on November 7, 2021 at the NRG Park grounds where people 8 died in crowd surge at Astroworld Festival in Houston, Texas. – Morales says she was knocked down twice and injured her foot during the concert. She says “the medical staff was not properly trained. I was taken into the medical tent because I was having a hard time breathing and all they did was hand me a bottle of water and told me to sit in the corner.”Authorities in Texas opened a criminal investigation Saturday into a tragedy in which the crowd at a huge Travis Scott rap concert surged toward the stage in a crush that killed eight people and sent dozens to the hospital.
