In light of the tragedy that took place in Houston at the Astroworld festival last week, people on TikTok are posting videos of artists who stopped their shows at the first sign of fan distress.
Eight people were killed at Travis Scott‘s concert in Houston. Investigators said a crowd surged toward the stage, but the cause remains unknown. The concert was part of the music festival, Astroworld, a two-day event that began on Friday. About 50,000 people were assembled there on Friday night when the injuries occurred. Other artists such as Drake, Sza, and Don Toliver were also performing.
Since the event, TikTok users have posted videos of other artists’ concerts as examples of what Travis Scott should’ve done.
