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 - When it comes to an outdoor performance, weather can be an unpredictable factor that carries risk to safety. On August 13, 2011, right before a concert by Sugarland at the Indiana State Fair, gusts of wind from an approaching thunderstorm hit the stage's temporary roof structure, causing it to collapse.
The structure landed among the awaiting crowd, killing seven people and injuring fifty-eight others. The members of Sugarland were all safe as they were in a tour bus preparing to come on stage when the collapse occurred. Opening act Sara Bareilles, meanwhile, had completed her performance and left the stage prior to the incident.
