Post Malone Set To Take Travis Scott's Spot At 'Day N Vegas' Festival; Fans Are Not Happy!

Post Malone is picking up the pieces of the “Days N Vegas” puzzle.

The singer will officially replace Travis Scott’s headlining slot at the music festival this upcoming weekend.

Post Malone will close out the day two of the festival on Saturday, November 13.

This slot was originally held for Scott, but given the recent Astroworld tragedy and his subsequent performance cancellations, he will no longer be performing.

Sources told Variety that the rapper is “too distraught to play” at the Day N Vegas Festival.

Day N Vegas’ official Twitter account announced the changes on November 8.

“We are excited that Post Malone has been added to close out Saturday night! Download the Day N Vegas app to view set times, register your wristband and receive real time updates and info,” the tweet read.

People online had mixed feelings about Posty replacing Scott.

One person replied to Day N Vegas’ tweet, “This is the worst person you could’ve added.”

Another wrote, “Should’ve gotten ye or daft punk instead (even though daft punk broke up).”

“I love Post but was Drake or Frank Ocean busy?” a fan asked.

Earlier in the day, Day N Vegas issued the following message: “Travis Scott will no longer be performing at Day N Vegas. The security and safety of all attending Day N Vegas has been and is always top priority in our festival planning. We continue to work hand in hand with law enforcement, medical personnel and public safety agencies on our protocols for the weekend. Please take care of yourself and each other. Look forward to seeing you in a few days.”

The Blast previously reported on the Astroworld rapper’s decision to cancel all upcoming performances following his deadly concert on November 5.

Eight people were confirmed dead and over 300 injured at his Astroworld concert at NRG park last Friday.

Scott has pledged to issue full refunds to every ticket holder that came to his Astroworld show.

In addition to giving out refunds to his concert, the Houston native will also cover the funeral costs to all eight people’s whose lives were taken at his show.

According to TMZ, Travis will be paying for the funeral expenses, of the eight deceased victims. He also reportedly will pay any amount needed, for any individual.

This is something that many fans wanted from Travis, considering how much he’s being held accountable for what occurred, in at his own festival.

In addition to Travis Scott covering the funeral costs for the Astroworld Fest victims, he is also partnering with BetterHelp. This is a group of mental health professionals, who will offer free services. These services will go towards the fans who were in attendance, who may be struggling to process what they witnessed, on November 5.

These sessions will be set up virtually, and one-on-one. BetterHelp is also getting together with National Alliance of Mental Illness, to provide additional assistance. A hotline will be created, on their end, as well. 50,000 people were in attendance, for Astroworld Fest.
