Thousands of lives changed on the night of November 5, 2021, when a deadly crowd surge at Travis Scott’s Astroworld Festival in Houston left 10 dead and hundreds injured.
“I always think about it, those fans were like my family. You know, I love my fans to the utmost,” Scott told GQ in 2023. “It has its moments where it gets rough and, yeah. You just feel for those people. And their families.”
Now, nearly four years later, Netflix is revisiting that devastating night in a powerful new docuseries.
The premiere episode of their upcoming anthology Trainwreck – titled “The Astroworld Tragedy”—delves into the fatal crowd crush from the perspectives of those who lived through it. Survivors, grieving family members, paramedics, and security staff recount the chaos and failures that unfolded at NRG Park that night.
In a newly released trailer, young fans and Houston locals open about the overwhelming excitement leading up to the festival, the chilling moments before Scott took the stage, and the chaos that erupted in the crowd. Their emotional accounts paint a raw, unfiltered picture of what really happened that night.
In the wake of the tragedy, multiple victims filed lawsuits against Travis Scott, his affiliated companies, concert promoters, and others involved. As of May 2024, Scott and Live Nation have settled all but one of the wrongful death lawsuits.
