Travis Scott Seeks Dismissal From Astroworld Lawsuits, Cites Lack of Responsibility for Safety

The rapper argues that event safety is not the performer's duty, as legal battles over the 2021 festival tragedy continue.

Travis Scott has filed a motion to be dismissed from lawsuits related to the 2021 Astroworld festival, where a crowd crush resulted in 10 deaths.
Scott's legal team argues that the rapper was not responsible for event safety and security, stating performers are not expected to provide special protection to the audience.
Despite stopping the show multiple times due to concerns, Scott claims he was unaware of the severity of the situation during the performance.
A Texas judge is considering Scott's request for summary judgment in the face of over 1,500 cases in multidistrict litigation.
The first trial in the massive litigation is set to start on May 6, with Scott emphasizing his limited role in event planning and security decisions.
