Several people in Milan reported feeling tremors from Travis Scott’s concert, echoing a similar incident in Texas in 2021 that resulted in 10 deaths. The Texas event faced issues like overcrowding, poor layout, and inadequate facilities, leading to chaos and leaving Travis Scott "overly devastated."
After the tragedy, he spoke to GQ Magazine, stating that he “always” thinks about it. He said:
"I always think about it. Those fans were like my family. You know, I love my fans to the utmost. It has its moments where it gets rough and... yeah. You just feel for those people. And their families.”
Scott faced heavy criticism during the Astroworld tragedy for continuing his performance despite deaths occurring. Houston police had warned the organizers of potential dangers. Regarding the recent Milan concert, many reported feeling vibrations, but Billboard noted that the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology confirmed no earthquake was recorded that night.
Scott is currently on the European run of The Circus Maximus Tour, as he will now be touring other European countries including Germany and Spain towards the end of the month.
