Travis Scott Announces First Festival Performances Since Astroworld Tragedy

Travis Scott will perform publicly for the first time since last year’s Astroworld tragedy in Houston, which left 10 dead and hundreds injured. The 30-year-old artist is scheduled to headline three Primavera Sound events in South America this fall.

The long-running festival, which was first launched in Spain before expanding to Southern California and South America, will take place in Sao Paulo, Brazil on November 6, Buenos Aires, Argentina on November 12 and Santiago, Chile on November 13. Additionally, Scott is slated to perform at “major” festivals in the summer, presumably in the U.S., according to sources via Variety.

Scott has maintained a relatively low profile in the aftermath of the tragedy, though he has given private performances on two occasions — in late March, Scott took the mic at a pre-Oscars house party in Bel Air, California, and earlier this month, he performed at a Coachella afterparty, where he played five of his own tracks. Scott was originally slated to headline Coachella, though he was dropped from the lineup in the wake of the tragedy.

As of late, Scott has posted several billboards across highways in California, as part of his promotional campaign for his upcoming album, Utopia. Additionally, the rapper recently teamed up with Future and Southside for “Hold That Heat,” his first widely available release since the tragedy.

In more music news, Justin Bieber dropped a comical “I Feel Funny” music video.
