Travis Scott is removed from the lineup of Coachella 2022.
After several lawsuits, Travis Scott continues to face the aftermath of the tragic Astworld festival, which sees deaths of around 10 people, and hundreds of injuries. According to reports from News Channel 3, the “Goosebumps” rapper is now removed from the lineup of the upcoming Coachella 2022 festival, which is confirmed by the city of Indio and the Community Services Manager Jim Curtis.
When the deadly Astroworld fest took place last month, over 60,000 people signed a petition to Coachella organizers Goldenvoice and Paul Tollett for the removal of the rapper from the Festival.

Scott’s exclusion from Coachella 2022 comes after an unexpected interview with Charlamagne the God last week, in which the rapper talked about being on an “emotional rollercoaster” after the deaths of ten festival attendees at Astroworld. Family members of the slain Astroworld guests attacked Scott for his apparent incompetence when the interview aired, according to Rolling Stone.
Travis Scott recently open up for the first time after one month of silence. “I went through something and I feel like fans went through something and people’s parents went through something,” he said. “And it really hurts. It hurts the community, it hurts the city. There’s been a lot of thoughts, a lot of feelings, a lot of grieving, and just trying to wrap my head around it.”
He continues, “As an artist, you just do the creative. And this to be my festival, I got to bring artists, creatively produce it. We just trust the professionals to make sure that people are taken care of and leaving safely. I just can control what I can on the stage, and you know have the professionals control what they can in the crowd. As an artist it’s hard because you want to have the best shows and you want to have the best experiences, you link with professionals to handle that side of it. You want to know what’s going on and I think that’s what we got to figure out, figure out what happened, how’d it happen.”
