This news may be triggering to some, so head’s up. Travis Scott gets his first festival post-Astroworld tragedy, and some folks aren’t happy about it. As many of you may recall, Scott was involved in a massive fiasco at his Astroworld event in November 2021. In the wake of that, Scott has been pretty mum about his plans for the future. Well, now we know. Scott will be playing the ‘Day N Vegas‘ festival in September of this year.
Travis Scott gets the first festival, but this has some people upset for one simple reason. Outside of some apology vids that seemed dialed in, Scott has done little to address the Astroworld tragedy directly. Many people attending must be wondering if things have been put in place to ensure that doesn’t happen again. One thing about festival shows is that they can be intense. Judging from his recent appearance at the Billboard Music Awards, people seemed to be happy to see him again. That still doesn’t undo the damage dealt, though.
But all is still tied up legally, so maybe moving on is part of the healing process because that is clearly what Travis Scott is doing.
A Big Day N Vegas
Rumor is the Astroworld tragedy did foster some changes in how shows like this were performed. But there is still a great deal of apprehension for many. Yes, Travis Scott gets his first festival, but maybe these are the steps needed to be taken so we can ALL move on from this horrible event that scarred so many.
Also, it needs to be said. From a legal standpoint, the Astroworld catastrophe is still being dealt with. But judging from the fact that Scott is slowly reemerging, it seems he is trying to find his footing again.
We, as people, have to at least allow him to try.
