Travis Scott's first music festival after Astroworld tragedy gets cancelled; All about it

American rapper Travis Scott had been laying low for the past six months ever since the Astroworld tragedy took place in November, last year. The tragedy took away the lives of 10 people, who attended Travis Scott's concert in Houston, Texas. The incident kept him away from the public eye and also resulted in the cancelling of several pre-scheduled events. While the rapper did appear at some public events including Billboard Music Awards 2022 and was set to perform at his first US festival after the tragedy, however, the latest piece of news revealed that the festival has been cancelled.
