Once bitten, twice shy.
That’s the motto Travis Scott is living by following his deadly Astroworld Festival in 2021.
The “Goosebumps” rapper has become more cognizant of what’s going on in the crowd during his performance.
Over the weekend, Travis had multiple performances.
Travis Scott Pauses Show
He performed at Miami’s exclusive E11EVEN Club in Miami, FL followed by a show on Coney Island in Brooklyn, NY on Monday, July 4th.
Travis along with Meek Mill performed at the Coney Art Walls with Travis taking the stage around 8PM.
He DJ’d and then performed.
Fans Cause Disruption By Climbing On Lighting Scaffolding
During his Coney Island show, some fans wanted to get a better look at the rapper and began scaling lighting scaffolding during his set.
Travis, who has been known to incite mosh pits and chaos at his shows, paused his performance to ask the fans to get back down to the ground.
According to footage obtained by TMZ, he can be heard rapping “Antidote” before stopping and saying, “We need y’all to get down. We need y’all to get down.”
Another person onstage reassures the rapper “I got ‘em, I got ‘em.”
The crowd starts to get restless over the concertgoers’ actions.
Travis Ensures Fans Are Okay During Show
Travis hits the mic again saying, “Aye yo my bro, my brother, just make sure you’re okay though my brother. You hear me?”
He then hypes the crowd back up by asking, “If everybody okay, let me get a ‘Hell Yeah.’”
The crowd shouts in unison, “Hell Yeah”
“If everybody want to party, let me get a ‘Hell Yeah.’”
Travis then restarted his performance but not before asking the crowd to take two steps back from the barricade around the stage.
Some fans still wouldn’t listen to his request for them to get down from the lighting scaffolding.
“You gotta get down, you gotta get down, you gotta get down,” Travis said repeatedly. He didn’t continue on with his show until everyone was off the scaffolding and the crowd was in a safe situation.
The Blast reported that 10 concertgoers at his Astroworld Festival died after the audience surged forward toward the stage. Their official cause of death was compression asphyxia.
Kylie Jenner’s boyfriend faces multiple multi-million-dollar lawsuits, some are even in the billions of dollars, from families of the Astroworld victims.
In the wake of the tragedy, the rapper took time away from performing, social media and public appearances.
He made a comeback at the 2022 Billboard Music Awards in May thanks to Diddy, who hosted and executive produced the award show.
Next month, Travis will travel to London’s O2 Arena for his first major headlining performance since Astroworld.
He was set to headline at “Day-N-Vegas” in September as well; however, the entire event was canceled for multiple reasons.
We reported that on July 1, the official Instagram page for “Day-N-Vegas” music festival released a lengthy statement.
“We're sorry to announce that a combination of logistics, timing and production issues have forced us to cancel Day N Vegas for 2022,” it read. “The refund process will begin immediately, and funds will appear back to your account within the next 2-4 weeks. All orders will be refunded to the credit card used to complete purchase.”
