More legal issues for Live Nation: The international concert conglomerate is arguing that they and Astroworld co-organizer Travis Scott should not be held responsible for planning failures before the 2021 tragedy in which 10 people died. The first lawsuit stemming from the disaster, a case brought by the parents of 23-year-old Madison Dubiski, will go to trial on May 6. Its outcome could be a bellwether for hundreds more lawsuits relating to Astroworld. Live Nation and Scott say that if they are forced to go to trial, they should be allowed to attempt to shift blame for poor crowd management to the Houston Police Department and Houston Fire Department. Here's more from Houston Landing.

10 young Travis Scott fans suffered fatal injuries at the Astroworld music festival in Houston in 2021. Houston Landing reports that organizers misinterpreted the Texas fire code requirements for "breathing room," ignored the way visual obstructions might change concertgoers' behavior, and failed to act appropriately when things began to get out of control on the day. “I would pull the plug but that’s just me,” security worker Reece Wheeler wrote from the festival command center, in a message made public last year. “Someone’s going to end up dead.”
