Astroworld

Friday's concert began with a stampede of people just hours before the show began. The sold-out, third-annual Astroworld Festival drew a massive crowd outside the perimeter of NRG Park prior to gates opening Friday afternoon, and some fans didn't wait to get in.

Multiple fans were trampled as hundreds rushed the event's perimeter Friday afternoon. Once inside, some people began climbing onto portable toilets as security personnel worked to try and contain the crowd.

Too distraught to play in Vegas or the organizer doesn't want the liability that comes with him?

Post Malone Replaces Travis Scott in Headlining Slot at Day N Vegas Festival

AEG has announced Post Malone will replace Travis Scott as headliner this Saturday at the three-day Day N Vegas festival.

Scott, whose career is in crisis as a result of the deadly calamity Friday night at his Astroworld Festival in Houston, had remained on the schedule posted on the Las Vegas gathering’s website though Monday night. But Variety reported on Monday morning that he had already officially pulled out over the weekend, with sources saying he was “too distraught to play.”

Just prior to putting up the Post Malone news late Monday, the Day N Vegas account first posted a more solemn message that read: “Travis Scott will no longer be performing at Day N Vegas. The security and safety of all attending Day N Vegas has been and is always top priority in our festival planning.” Without promising any specific changes in store, the statement continued, “We continue to work hand in hand with law enforcement, medical personnel and public safety agencies on our protocols for the weekend. Please take care of yourselves and each other. Look forward to seeing you in a few days.”

I saw a post somewhere and I think I agree. Anyone that requests a refund from Astroworld needs to look for fine print. Like if you request a refund you agree to hold all responsible parties harmless.

Am I understanding this correctly ... some concert attendees were crushed to death?

I believe so. Pretty much everything was caused by the crushing surge. Then the aftermath (like the 9 year old that was nearly stomped to death).

I think it's wishful thinking that something besides crushing injuries caused their deaths. Sure, it "might" have been a factor in a couple of them, but I am also sure it wasn't a factor in most.

the drug they were given to reverse drug interaction is often given in cases where paramedics aren't sure why a patient is down. There is no harm in giving it if they aren't and definite harm if they don't, so many times they will give it out of caution. I can sure see them doing this in this environment...just in case.

It will be interesting to hear the outcome.

It's amazing the things you suddenly notice. My husband was looking at tickets to a David Crowder concert. I said oh look at that. Live Nation is the promoter.
