I still remember the Who 1979 concert news about the events of Cincinnati. I think 11 people died. 26 were injured and the Who and promoter lost a $2million class action lawsuit.
It for a time bought an end to festival seating for a time. But the band and promoter were found to be directly responsible. They planned for the event and organized it and hired security (Hell's Angels).
Travis Scott's name is attached to this, there's no question that there is going to be a very large class action lawsuit over this and he is going to have to settle. The video of people screaming at him to stop the show because of dead people and him ignoring it and singing through it while bodies were being carried out is damning.
I would assume that this was festival seating and not assigned seating. I would expect that this is going to be revisted for future events.
I didn't even know who this guy was until yesterday, but looking at his history, this isn't the first time that he's had problems, or egged on crowds.
Tragic sad event and yeah, the dad bringing a 9 year old to something like this, I have to wonder what he's thinking. Now it doesn't matter.
Add on from the above, The Who concert kept playing because nobody informed the band of what was happening. Travis Scott completely knew what was happening, he was staring at bodies being hauled out and continued the concert, that makes him a real POS.
