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 - In 2017, Ariana Grande and Britons were left devastated after people who attended her concert in the Manchester Arena became victims of a terrorist attack. As the crowd was leaving the venue right after the American singer's concert, an Islamist extremist suicide bomber detonated a shrapnel-laden homemade bomb.
Twenty-three people died, including the attacker who was identified as Salman Ramadan Abedi, a 22-year-old local man of Libyan ancestry. 1,017 were injured, some of them children, and several hundred more suffered psychological trauma. The bomber was not related to any terrorist network, but his brother Hashem Abedi was found guilty of 22 counts of murder relating to the attack.
