Travis Scott and other organizers of the Astroworld music festival in Houston are already facing at least one lawsuit over Friday’s deadly crowd surge, filed by an injured concertgoer who called the incident a “predictable and preventable tragedy.”

In a petition filed Saturday in Harris County District Court, Astroworld attendee Manuel Souza sued Scott himself, as well as organizer ScoreMore and concert giant Live Nation, over the Astroworld music festival tragedy.

The lawsuit claims the disaster was the direct result of “a motivation for profit at the expense of concertgoers’ health and safety” and the “encouragement of violence."
“Defendants failed to properly plan and conduct the concert in a safe manner,” 
 “Instead, they consciously ignored the extreme risks of harm to concertgoers, and, in some cases actively encouraged and fomented dangerous behaviors."

In the new lawsuit, Souza claims that the Astroworld organizers disregarded warning signs earlier in the day.
In addition to actions by organizers, the suit tries to pin blame on Scott himself, saying he was known for hosting intense concerts and encouraging his fans to “rage.”

In technical terms, the lawsuit accuses the organizers of negligence and gross negligence and is seeking at least $1 million in damages.

The case is one of the first of many lawsuits that are expected to be filed over the incident, which appears to be one of the deadliest crowd disasters at a music event in years.

A festivalgoer at Astroworld has sued Travis Scott and Drake for over a million dollars, claiming the rappers 'incited the crowd' that left him 'severely injured' and eight others dead. 

Kristian Paredes, 23, from Austin, Texas, filed the complaint accusing the rappers, Live Nation Entertainment Inc. and Harris County Sports and Convention Corporation of negligence. 

According to the complaint, Drake 'came on stage alongside Travis Scott and helped incite the crowd.' He accuses Drake of continuing to perform with Travis Scott 'as the crowd became out of control' and 'while the crowd mayhem continued.'

Travis Scott and Drake could pay 'billions' in damages after a lawsuit involving 68 people injured in the deadly crush at the Astroworld concert was announced.

Powerhouse Texas attorney Thomas J. Henry, father of Liam Payne's girlfriend Maya Henry, says that he is being contacted by more people 'by the hour.'

"More and more injured victims are contacting my firm by the hour," said Thomas J. Henry. "While we are all still working to understand the full scope of the Astroworld tragedy, I believe the damages suffered by its victims could total in the billions."
