House Oversight Committee will launch an investigation into Astroworld tragedy
The November festival, that featured Travis Scott as headliner, left 10 people dead and even more injured
Nearly two months after Travis Scott’s Astroworld festival, the House Oversight Committee announced yesterday that it will be launching an investigation into the tragedy that left 10 dead and dozens injured.
In a letter to the festival’s organizer Live Nation, the committee wrote, “Recent reports raise serious concerns about whether your company took adequate steps to ensure the safety of the 50,000 concertgoers who attended Astroworld Festival.”
“The tragedy at Astroworld Festival follows a long line of other tragic events and safety violations involving Live Nation,” the letter continued. “For example, Live Nation has been fined or sued numerous times over safety issues at previous events, including other incidents involving surging fans or stampedes.”
