Published

on

Authorities have confirmed that a criminal inquiry has been launched into Travis Scott’s Astroworld festival following the deaths of eight people

Investigators have already begun investigating what happened at the event, with Houston’s mayor saying it will “will take weeks, if not longer” before answers are found.

This comes as authorities announce the arrests of 25 people during the concert, however it is unclear whether these arrests are linked to the festival tragedy.

8 people died and many more were injured after a stampede caused attendees to be crushed at Scott’s event in Texas.

Witnesses say the crowd of 50,000 was out of control well before the show even started

Scott released a statement on Sunday saying he is “absolutely devastated by what took place”.

The singer and event organisers are also facing a civil lawsuit, with attendees suing over

what they’re calling a “preventable and predictable tragedy” which could have been avoided.
