Travis Scott Wants Out of Astroworld Lawsuits, Arguing Safety Was Not His Responsibility
Travis Scott asked to be dismissed from litigation over the 2021 disaster at the Astroworld music festival, arguing safety was not his responsibility.
They claim Scott (real name Jacques Bermon Webster II), Live Nation and other organizers were legally negligent in how they planned the event, and are collectively seeking billions in damages. And even if Scott could be theoretically held liable because of his involvement as a promotor, his lawyers say the evidence shows that he did enough to avoid any claims of negligence or other wrongdoing – arguing that he “acted diligently to protect against every reasonably apprehensible danger.” The lawsuits over Astroworld, combined into one single large action in Texas state court in Houston, have spent much of the last two years in discovery, as the two sides exchange information and take depositions of key figures.
