Travis Scott set for first festival gigs since Astroworld tragedy

Rapper Travis Scott is poised to return to doing festival sets roughly a year after the Astroworld Festival tragedy in Houston in which 10 people died.

A poster for the Primavera Sound festivals in South America listed Scott’s name, with his first performance in Sao Paulo on Nov. 6, with other performances scheduled in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on Nov. 12 and Santiago, Chile, on Nov. 13. Scott will also be performing at “major” summer festivals in the summer, according to Variety.


Since a crush of people at the Astroworld Festival in November 2021 led to the deaths of 10 people, including a 9-year-old, Scott announced $5 million in community-focused initiatives to help children through his Project Heal in March. He and Kylie Jenner introduced their second child, a boy, a month earlier.

Scott said he would cover the cost of the funerals for the individuals who died and wrote on social media that he would work with the Houston community “to heal and support the families in need.”
