DALLAS — The Texas Task Force on Concert Safety, formed in the wake of the deadly Astroworld Festival in Houston, released a final report Tuesday with recommendations aiming to keep concertgoers safe at shows across the state.
The report comes five months after a performance by rapper Travis Scott at the festival that left 10 people, including a 10-year-old boy, dead and more than 300 injured.
Hundreds of lawsuits have been filed over injuries and deaths at the concert at NRG Park, where fans surged toward the stage, squeezing people so tightly together that they could not breathe nor move their arms. Officials determined that those killed died from compression asphyxia.
