When the return of Astroworld was announced earlier this year the 100,000 tickets available sold out within minutes. Friday night, all that enthusiasm turned tragic as the surge of fans rushing to see Travis Scott perform shortly after 9:30 p.m. resulted in eight reported deaths and multiple crowd injuries.
Fans had broken through the perimeter defenses in earlier iterations of the festival, but even the expanded Astroworld security team and beefed up police presence Friday was no match for people determined to join the thousands of concert-goers for the event that drew in ticket-buyers from around the country.
Earlier Friday, everything and everyone was upbeat about another successful festival, which has morphed into a weeklong celebration in Houston capped off with a planned two-day festival featuring acts like Sza, Toro Y Moi, Lil Baby, Metro Boomin and Master P. And then there was the drop-in from Drake.
By Saturday morning, however, families were searching for relatives who'd been at the festival at a reunification center set up by police at the Wyndham Hotel at 610 and Kirby with some being redirected to area hospitals.If you have not been able to contact your loved one who attended #ASTROWORLDFest please call 3-1-1 or 713-837-0311 or go to the reunification center at 8686 Kirby Dr, Houston, TX 77054."What happened at Astroworld Festival was a tragedy.
