Travis Scott and Live Nation are the targets of a new $750 million lawsuit filed on behalf of over 125 individuals who attended the ill-fated 2021 Astroworld Festival.
Ten people have died and hundreds were injured after a crowd surge led to a "mass casualty event" on the evening of the festival's first day.
The lawsuit was filed by local attorney Tony Buzbee. The plaintiffs include the family of Axel Acosta, a 21-year-old who lost his life at the festival. “Axel died that night on the muddy ground at a concert he attended for fun,” Buzbee wrote in a petition viewed by Billboard. “Axel Acosta loved and adored Travis Scott and the other performers at Astroworld — the feeling was not mutual.” Read Next: Nike postpones roll-out of new Travis.
