Travis Scott has scheduled his first show in Houston since the 2021 Astroworld tragedy.
Along with confirming the October date for Scott’s show, Turner said city and venue officials discussed safety measures and concerns and would continue to do so going forward. “Before today’s announcement, Toyota Center representatives convened meetings with public safety officials and the City’s special events office,” Turner said. “They will continue working together to ensure this concert’s safety, not unlike the many other concerts and events held at Toyota Center each year.
Turner also noted that the Toyota Center — an arena that can hold about 19,000 people for concerts — is “a different type of venue” than NRG Park, which hosted an estimated 50,000 people the night of the deadly Astroworld crowd crush. “The Toyota Center has been a good partner with the City of Houston, and we expect this to continue for this and every other concert,” Turner said.
