Most likely gonna be a short film of some kind to go with the album like he did for Birds in the Trap. Both parties involved tend to have killer visuals so should be interesting
This is incredibly sad. I can’t imagine Coachella moving forward with him as a headliner. Also, would it kill him to acknowledge his fans who passed away? Shocking how quiet he’s been. Just saw the vid on Twitter where Travis is dancing on the platform and below him security and medics are doing CPR on multiple people. Fuck this guy.
I mean people crushing the people in the front is a pretty real thing, most of the people in the front at a Paramore show I was at had to get pulled out of the front row because they were getting injured. He's been pretty good about telling the crowd to help people and get medical help before but I expect this is something he deals with at every concert. Just really sad and insane how many people died. I'm sure he will say something about it
I've seen him live, he would stop performing and say "somebody help that guy right there he's passing out" and point to him for the security people at several points in his set. So in my experience, yeah I'm serious. I don't remember anyone getting hurt or dying at lollapalooza?
What happened at Lollapalooza, and him stopping his sets and helping people who need medical attention in the crowd can and are both true. He can have a history of encouraging unruly behavior at his sets and also care about people in the crowd who need medical help.
I have no idea how culpable Travis is in this situation, though we’ve seen that he has a history of inciting unruly crowds like McDonald’s during the pandemic. But I think some of these videos really overestimate how far a performer can see into the crowd, which is not far at all. What it does show is a complete lack of communication and infrastructure for security at a massive festival. That camera guy should have been able to call in to someone to notify of them of a potential death. A system needed to be put in place in case this happened (The only reason I could see them not stopping it as an ambulance rolled through is fear of inciting a bigger mob and having a Woodstock ‘99 on their hands on top of everything). The whole thing has to be the tipping point to completely re-evaluate security and when to stop a concert when something like this happens. It’s so sad that this occurred and the first-hand accounts are terrifying.
