A judge has declined to dismiss hundreds of lawsuits filed against rapper Travis Scott stemming from the deadly 2021 Astroworld festival, where 10 people died in a crowd surge. The judge’s order denies Scott’s request to remove himself and his touring company from the case. Scott’s attorneys argue that he was not responsible for safety planning at the concert, while plaintiffs’ attorneys allege he had a “conscious disregard for safety.” The lawsuit filed by the family of one of the victims, Madison Dubiski, is set to go to trial in May.
