Cole on Saturday and then Scott wrapping things up Sunday. Playboi Carti, 21 Savage, H.E.R., Jhene Aiko, T-Pain and Pusha T were some of the other performers.A post shared by Day N Vegas (@daynvegas)It's true that the Houston native is already scheduled to headline the Primavera Sound Festival, but he's only doing so for the South American leg in Brazil, Chile and Argentina in November, meaning Day N Vegas would have been his grand return to the festival circuit in the U.S.It's worth noting that Live Nation is partly producing Primavera Sound, the same producers behind Astroworld.

Day N Vegas was being produced by Goldenvoice, which also runs Coachella and Stage Coach and are a subsidiary of AEG.In the midst of his comeback, Scott remains embroiled in multiple lawsuits filed against him (including a wrongful death lawsuit) stemming from the Astroworld tragedy that resulted in 10 dead.
