The Astroworld music festival was abruptly canceled on Sunday, Nov. 4, just a few hours before it was scheduled to start. The festival, which was to be headlined by Travis Scott and was scheduled to take place in Houston, Texas, was canceled due to “safety concerns.”

This was the latest in a series of high-profile music festival cancellations. In May, the electronic music festival Tomorrowland was canceled due to severe weather conditions. In July, the hip-hop festival Lollapalooza was canceled due to dangerous heat levels. And in August, the country music festival Burning Man was canceled due to wildfires.

What is going on with the music festival circuit? Are they becoming less safe to attend? Or are there other factors at play?

The Astroworld music festival was initially conceived as a tribute to Houston rapper Travis Scott’s late uncle, George H.W. Bush. It was scheduled to take place on the former president’s birthday, Nov. 4. However, the festival was canceled just a few hours before it was scheduled to start, due to “safety concerns.”

It’s not clear what specifically led to the cancellation, but it’s possible that the large crowd that was expected to attend the festival posed a safety risk. This is particularly concerning in light of the fact that the festival was canceled just a few hours before it was scheduled to start.

In May, the electronic music festival Tomorrowland was canceled due to severe weather conditions. In July, the hip-hop festival Lollapalooza was canceled due to dangerous heat levels. And in August, the country music festival Burning Man was canceled due to wildfires.

All of these festivals were canceled either due to severe weather conditions or dangerous heat levels. It’s possible that the organizers of these festivals were simply trying to avoid putting their attendees in danger.

However, it’s also possible that there are other factors at play. The number of high-profile music festival cancellations in 2018 suggests that there may be something wrong with the music festival circuit.
