Travis Scott Settles Nearly 100 Astroworld Festival Injury Lawsuits

Travis Scott and nearly 100 victims have settled ahead of a court date related to the Astroworld Festival tragedy.

According to the Dallas Morning News, the settlements come days ahead of the set trial. The outlet reported Scott, Live Nation, and venue operator SMG, a division of ASM Global Parent Inc., faced a trial Tuesday (Oct. 22) involving three bellwether plaintiffs.

The three plaintiffs, the first to proceed, suffered from injuries ranging from a collapsed lung to emotional distress. The settlement was agreed to after the Texas Supreme Court denied a petition from Live Nation in an attempt to prevent the deposition of its CEO, Michael Rapino.

Two plaintiffs, Angel Dominguez and Elizabeth Martinez, reached confidential settlement agreements last Friday with Live Nation and Scott, while a third plaintiff, Henry Nguyen, will have his trial rescheduled. According to the outlet, the settlements resolved the claims of about 100 of nearly 1000 plaintiffs.
