Travis Scott concert creates earthquake scare in the surrounding area 

In 2021, Travis faced lawsuits and a potential charge after ten people died of compression asphyxia after the crowd got out of hand during his Astroworld Festival Set.

The Houston police department submitted a 1,300-page document detailing the tragic incident. However, Travis never faced repercussions for the deaths at his out-of-control concert.

There were 60,000 attendees at Travis’ Utopia tour debut. Out of the staggering number of fans in attendance, 60 people had to seek medical attention, with one person being sent to the hospital.

Those left injured were affected by a pepper spray attack in the middle of a crowded area. While another fan, who is 14 years old, was sent to the hospital due to falling from about 13 feet high.

Things got so wild that people within a specific range of the concert thought an earthquake had occurred due to the vibrations sent from all of Travis’ fans jumping up and down.

Others artists like Taylor Swift recently had the same earthquake effect her concert in Seattle, Washington, as her Eras tour performance caused an earthquake of 2.3 magnitude.

Travis has yet to comment on the recent incident at his concert. There is also no update on the condition of those affected by the pepper spray or fall.
