Astroworld To Be Investigated By Congress

The information the congressional committee requested included details about security, crowd control, and mass casualty incident planning. They also want details about any pre-show briefings by Live Nation on any safety concerns; and what steps the concert promoter will take to prevent injuries or deaths at any future events.

“Recent reports raise serious concerns about whether your company took adequate steps to ensure the safety of the 50,000 concertgoers who attended Astroworld Festival,” the committee said in the letter.

The committee is now asking that Live Nation provide documentation on the questions by January 7th and that it provide a briefing to committee members by January 12th.
