Judge Declines to Dismiss Hundreds of Lawsuits Against Travis Scott Over Astroworld Festival Tragedy
State District Judge Kristen Hawkins has denied Scott’s request to dismiss hundreds of lawsuits filed against him and his company, XX Global, over the deadly 2021 Astroworld festival. The lawsuits allege that Scott was responsible for safety planning and watching for possible dangers at the concert, which resulted in the deaths of 10 people. Scott’s attorneys had argued that he was not responsible for these aspects of the festival, but the families of the victims claim that he had a “conscious disregard for safety.” The case is set to go to trial on May 6.
