HOUSTON (AP) — At least eight people died and numerous others were injured in what officials described as a surge of the crowd at the Astroworld music festival in Houston while rapper Travis Scott was performing. Astroworld is a two-day music festival that was scheduled to take place Friday and Saturday in Houston. Event promoters had arranged for medical units to be on scene at the festival, however once the crowd surge began, those units were “quickly overwhelmed,” Peña said. Houston Police Chief Troy Finner called for calm and urged people not to jump to conclusions as to what caused the surge. Scott founded Astroworld Festival in 2018 and it has taken place at the former site of Six Flags AstroWorld each year since, except for in 2020 because of the coronavirus pandemic.

The "mass casualty incident" occurred after 9 p.m. Friday night when a crowd began to "compress" toward the front of the stage, authorities said.
