Travis Scott is performing for the first time since Astroworld — in Miami, TMZ says
He’s back. Roughly six months after the Astroworld tragedy in Houston, Travis Scott is taking the stage again — in Miami.
The rapper is set to perform at downtown 24/7 ultraclub E11EVEN on May 7 as part of myriad Formula One Grand Prix weekend festivities, TMZ first reported.
Snoop Dogg is on the schedule to rap the night before, as per the venue’s Instagram page, and Diplo the night before that. Scott does not appear anywhere on social media and a spokesperson did not return the Miami Herald’s request for comment.
If the Miami set happens, it won’t be Scott’s only gig. The native Texan born Jacques Webster has a tour coming up. The Primavera Sound Festival is not in the United States, but South America — hitting such countries as Brazil, Chile and Argentina.
Ten people died of compression asphyxia and hundreds of others were injured when the crowd surged towards the stage at the catastrophic event in Houston Nov. 5, 2021. At least 18 lawsuits have been filed against the “Hold That Heat” singer and fest organizers.
Earlier this week, Kylie Jenner’s on-again beau announced a $5 million initiative, Project HEAL, looking to help today’s youth and at-risk families.
“Over the past few months, I’ve been taking the time and space to grieve, reflect and do my part to heal my community,” Scott said in an Instagram statement. “Most importantly, I want to use my resources and platform moving forward towards actionable change.”
