Lawsuits Stream In Over The Deadly Tragedy At The Travis Scott Concert

Houston’s Astroworld Festival is now considered one of the deadliest concerts in U.S. history.

Eight people are dead and many more injured after the crowd surged as the festival’s headliner, Travis Scott, performed Friday night. Scott launched his Astroworld Festival in 2018.

Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner said Saturday that, as far as he knew, the festival at NRG Park was the only time in about 40 years that such a large event in the city led to a loss of life.

There’s been "nothing of this magnitude," Turner said during a press conference. Police caution that the investigation into what went wrong during the show is still in the early stages.

On Sunday, officials with the Houston Police Department said there was no new information to release but added that the investigation "remains very active."
