The crowd crush that happened during the annual music event founded by Travis Scott was certainly not the first tragedy that occurred at a concert, but hopefully it will be the last.

AceShowbiz - After COVID protocols were loosened, it's understandable that the excitement was high for the return of live musical events that had been put on hold due to the pandemic. But Travis Scott (II) could not have anticipated what would happen during his 2021 Astroworld Festival. A crowd crush occured during his set on November 5 at NRG Park in Houston, Texas. At least 9 people died and more than 300 were injured.
Before the devastating tragedy during the annual music event founded by Scott, some fatal accidents took place at other shows in the last two decades alone. Whether it was caused by stampede, fire or stage collapse, hopefully promoters and artists can learn from these tragedies to avoid any similar incidents in the future.
