Was Astroworld a Tragedy Waiting to Happen?

Outlore with Eleanor Neale

Houston, 2021: Travis Scott’s Astroworld Festival was supposed to be the event of the year. But instead, it became one of the deadliest rap concerts in history. 10 people lost their lives, hundreds were injured and the world was left asking: How did this happen?

It was declared a mass casualty event, but instead of stopping the show… producers let it play on. Travis kept performing and Drake was even brought out on stage. All while hundreds of people in the crowd screamed for help.

Travis Scott calls himself the King of Rage. An artist who tells his fans to never be bystanders to chaos. But that night at Astroworld, did Travis Scott become the biggest bystander of all?
