Travis Scott is responsible for the Astroworld incident, here's why! | MRP #016

The Metal Robot Podcast (2021-12-11) In this episode of the Metal Robot Podcast, we take a departure from the usual metal-related fun and giggles to discuss the unfortunate and completely avoidable events that unfolded at Astroworld, a music festival headlined by Travis Scott, where a surge of concertgoers led to a mass casualty event resulting in deaths and injuries. We the factors contributing to the tragedy, including crowd behavior, security measures, and Travis Scott's role as the festival's founder and performer.

Travis Scott's handling of the situation is up for scrutiny, highlighting instances where he continued performing despite calls for help from the audience and failed to take appropriate action to address the escalating crisis. But don't just take my word for it! Take the word of Sam Astaroth and Lindsay Schoolcraft, two talented performers who might know a thing or two about crowd control from the stage. Their perspectives shed light on the importance of performers' roles in ensuring audience safety and how Travis Scott's actions—or lack thereof—were a gross negligence of that responsibility.

Let’s unpack the Astroworld tragedy, learn from its lessons, and work towards a future where such preventable disasters never happen again.
