Travis Scott and Live Nation, the organizers of his Astroworld concert, are facing a massive lawsuit, that has seen almost 400 individually file cases.
The cases represent about 2,800 victims who attended the concert on November 5,2021.
According to reports, 10 lives were lost while hundreds were injured in a stampede at the concert in Houston, Texas two months ago.
Billboard have acquired legal documents that shows that the new case will consist of at least 387 people filed lawsuits saying that Scott and Live Nation were negligent in the planning and execution of Astroworld.
“We conclude that the cases arising out of [Astroworld] are related, and we find that transfer of those cases would result in more efficient pretrial of the related cases.”
The filing also states that the number of cases might change because more people might come forward after the new lawsuit is filed, while others might drop out.
Multidistrict Litigation (MDL) is a common lawsuit filed on a similar complaint by several plaintiffs. An MDL means that a single judge will negotiate a settlement to resolve all the cases at the same time.
The publication also reported that the victims who filed the lawsuit against Scott and his management are seeking billions of dollars in damages.
