A man who says he was injured during the deadly crowd surge at the Astroworld Festival is suing Travis Scott, Live Nation and others involved in the event

A concertgoer who was injured during the festival is suing rapper and producer Travis Scott, who was the organizer of the Astroworld Festival, as well as entertainment company Live Nation, concert promoter Scoremore and others involved in the event, according to the lawsuit obtained by CNN.

Those who survived had to fight their way out of the crowd as the music continued.'This was not a concert, this was a fight for survival'Scott took the stage for his set shortly after 9 p.m. Officials said they were made aware of crowd surges early in his set, and received the first reports of injuries at approximately 9:30 p.m.It is unclear what Scott saw from the stage and whether he was aware of the crowd conditions at the time, but he continued to perform until approximately 10:10 p.

Best of luck to ya pal. How the hell do you blame the performer for the actions of people in the audience? What people in audience can't THINK & ACT for THEMSELVES the performer has to? Sorry, this doesn't pass the bullshit test!

And yet it was the crowd that was responsible.

DrTrillions If the music stopped you think the crowd would have froze like Red light Green Light? HELL NO! Sorry but this falls on LiveNation and the way they coordinated this concert/festival

DrTrillions This was a CROWD CONTROL PROBLEM! There should have been more security enforced! And NEVER SHOULD A CHILD BE ALLOWED TO BE IN A MOSH PIT WHEN THERES LIKE 10,000 people and event like Astro World!peopleare mad because trvisXX didn’t stop singing but why?

DrTrillions If you are a trvisXX fan you are expecting MOSH PITS You are expecting a Sold Out Event! I’m not sure why people are wanting to sue trvisXX or how that can even be allowed REALLY I mean did Jason Aldean get sued when there was GUN VIOLENCE at his concert?

DrTrillions Let me say this was a tragic event!But if we’re being honest ANYONE who follows trvisXX CactusJack knows how hyped people are over him!they literally are called “Ragers”!& Astro World or festival has just been more hyped since pandemic!

CNN working overtime to make Travis Scott look like a saint....

This had nothing to do with the band rather it was people that for what ever reason, behaved like wild maniacs rather than mature people that appreciated listening to this band!! This was blatant madness for sure and so tragic for the loss of lives!!

Sue happy people everywhere.

Concert should never started when the crush happed at the ⏰ count down. Organizers are not blind they saw what was happening. It’s happen to me in the 80s at a Grateful Dead Show. Bob Weir stopped playing told the crowd repeatedly,take a step back.Refused to play until they did.

Live Nation should be sued out of existence.

Knew that was coming

Sue,Sue, Sue! But why did I go? Would’ve been so much safer just watching the video

People forgot about the video of him singing while looking at someone’s lifeless body being carried off, he could’ve stopped the show but decided against it

Ironic organisers of a concert being sued and a guy who organised a coup on the capital still ⛳..

security shouldve done bettah..!

I don't understand humanity any more

Justice is needed but this dude is buggin with his $1,000,000 lawsuit. Lmfao

Damn already. Let the investigators investigate first. It started at 2:00 pm. When fans bum rushed the security gates. Yet no call for additional security.

CNN and their so called “journalism” is garbage. Out of all the videos of concert goers lifeless bodies being crushed all while Travis Scott ignores and continues the show this is how CNN “reports” the events. Once again, another lazy, misleading reporting by CNN

CCNFakeNews Eventhough I was not Trump supporter but I now agree with him 100% on the fact that CNN is Fake News. CNN is destabilizing Ethiopia using unrelated/old photo, unrelated stories and being biased to TPLF(terrorist). Americans stop this Fake media spreading lies.

One race that won’t let you live your life that’s not what law is for

We can’t be fathers cuz they’re got shit fucked up

All the government money wa given to one race that alessohas money and women to discriminate against men

It never stops many many black men no Coivd assistant none many jobs you walk in the business they don’t hire black men then if so not at fair pay

They never just fight for us but it’s so easy fir any race to get representation but not for the rights of black men but very fast to harm who they want how is there not discrimination in law

Everything that’s wrong in one statement - always the first thoughts of most people today - can I make money off this ……. Scum

Hope y'all staying safe? hit me up for business talks, other financial related issues. I give my maximum support and consent. you can sell your bitcoins to me at good rates too 💯

It didn't take long to file that lawsuit. Scott and Live Nation at the very least should pay the hospital bills and pay out settlements to deceased who had kids.

What happened at the 'Sugarland' concert?

Typical rapper event...why all the outrage .at least there was no gunfire

And…that is just the beginning. More lawsuits en route…..

I respect that decision

He won’t get even a dollar. Heart goes out to the families of the individuals that were killed but not this guy.

The event organizers are primarily responsible and should be included in this suit. I'm not sure the performers should be, but in the past previous ones involved in these types of incidents did compensate victims.

Not enough that TJH invades the beautiful landscape of Texas with a billboard on all highway, radio and morning news commercials...What's missing is the headline: 'Let's make a dollar by any means necessary by attacking Black artists with good intentions.'

This is BULLSHIT!! How could you not know what WAS GOING ON AT THE CONCERT? That is what money does...and fame...desensitizes you. This is disgusting and to not know what is up at your own concert is inexcusable, a way to shun off liability. KylieJenner trvisXX

Of course

Doesn’t TX have a max award of $750K, even for a death? I think so. Gotta love TX…

I would ask was he is invited or went to festival on personal interest please no case.

Everything wrong with today’s society.

The name Kamala Harris has not been mentioned near enough in the Great American Crisis.

Of course he is. Out to make $$$. And why wouldn't he?

First one to file wins.

as he should

Well that didn't take long did it...

They wasted no time, but I don't blame them. I am sure there are more to come esp from the families of those who lost their lives.

Concert ? More like a ritual . A dove on fire, A symbolising t shirt, a motto , saying see you on the other side . 💀

NOW IT BEGINS.

As well he should and EVERY single person injured as well as the families of those they killed.

Americans and their lawsuits..

and so should everyone.

If CNN is reporting it, it’s probably not true.

If travis could have done something then he need to be held accountable

The pure horror shown in some of the accounts from that night at Astroworld showcases that animal instincts and herd mentality take precedent over logic at the end of the day, and the downplayed reaction highlights how desensitized we are becoming as a species.

Good.

Anyone who has been to previous concerts should be aware of the dangers. Thinking of suit? You pays your money, ya takes your chances. Think you're getting a pay out for our stupidity? Not when I'm on the jury!!!!

Good

Astroworld 'Had More Security' Than the World Series, Houston Mayor Says After TragedyHouston Mayor Sylvester Turner has shared a statement following the tragedy at Travis Scott's Astroworld Festival on Nov. 5. Travis Scott kept playing during the crush like a heartless monster concerned with making money by trying to complete his concert. He should be banned from Houston. This is horrific! There should be crowd control particularly during a pandemic. There should never have been this big of a crowd for numerous reasons. I feel this is very irresponsible!!!! The fact that Travis couldn’t even be bothered to pen his own statement after people literally died, and just told his publicist to put something out… that will tell you how much he cares about his own fans
