Travis Scott is still dealing with the fallout from the disastrous Astroworld Festival, which killed ten people and injured over 300 more.
According to KESQ News 3, the "SICKO MODE" rapper has been dropped from the Coachella schedule for 2022. On Friday (December), the city of Indio, California, and Community Services Manager Jim Curtis verified Scott's withdrawal from the festival.
On the 5th of November, the Astroworld tragedy occurred, prompting an internet campaign to have Scott removed from his Coachella headlining slot. As of the time of publication, it had just over 60,000 signatures.
As stated in the introduction, “With the recent tragic and unnecessary death at Travis Scott’s Astroworld concert, due to Scott’s own gross negligence and sheer lack of compassion for human life, we ask AEG, Paul Tollet, and Goldenvoice to remove his as performer at all of their festivals.”
Numerous lawsuits have been filed against Scott, with over 2,800 alleged victims seeking billions of dollars in damages. However, Scott and his legal team responded to a complaint brought by Jessie Garcia, who claimed to have been injured while attending the ill-fated event, earlier this week.
Scott wants the lawsuit against him, his Cactus Jack label, and Jack Enterprises dismissed "with prejudice." The 29-year-old Houstonian also issued a "general denial," which would apply to all 275 lawsuits filed against him.
Coachella 2022 will take place over the weekends of April 15-17 and April 22-24. Rage Against The Machine has been billed as one of the festival's headliners.
