It’s not clear that Scott was aware of or able to see the full extent of the physical pressure the crowd was exerting - at one point he paused in apparent confusion - but he didn’t appear to deliberately ignore everyone who was struggling.Įntertainers from Ozzy Osbourne to Alice Cooper to Lady Gaga have used occult imagery as part of their acts over the years. However, as Newsweek points out, the livestream of the show had several instances of Scott stopping the concert to call on people to help fans who’d passed out in the crowd. Others have alleged that Scott continued to perform even as fans started to pass out and call for help. The festival’s tagline, “See You on the Other Side,” has certainly taken on a horribly dark irony in the tragedy’s wake. We live in conspiratorial times and as news began to trickle out about the sad events that took place, amateur internet sleuths began speculating that Scott had deliberately plotted the deadly stampede as part of a Satanic “blood sacrifice.” It’s a baseless conspiracy theory, but it’s one that’s picked up a considerable amount of steam on certain corners of social media.Īs proof, social media users pointed to some macabre elements of Scott’s stage show and promotional materials, including some diabolic imagery inspired by Hieronymus Bosch’s “Christ In Limbo” painting.

Footage taken during the event revealed the chaos that took place during a surge towards the front of the stage. Over the weekend, tragedy struck at the Astroworld festival in Texas, when at least eight people died and dozens more were injured when a crowd rushed the stage during a performance by Travis Scott.
