Astroworld Festival | Before They Were Gone | The Cursed History Of The Event

Growing up in Houston, Texas, Travis Scott always held a fond place for the Six-Flags theme park known as Astroworld. Not only would he spend a lot of time there before the park closed its doors in 2005, but it would eventually become the basis of his most popular album, his most successful world tour, and finally, his very own festival held at the exact location of the old theme-park. For years, this seemed like a match made in heaven, but over this past weekend, tragedy struck and everything came crashing down. With his reputation for stirring up large audiences, this time when Travis took to his Astroworld stage, eight people would lose their lives in the ensuing chaos; Axel Acosta, Danish Baig, Madison Dubiski, John Hilgert, Jacob Jurinek, Franco Patino, Rudy Pena, and Brianna Rodriguez. Now questions abound – including how did this happen and what is the ultimate fate of the Astroworld festival?
