Lawsuits continue to be filed in the aftermath of November’s deadly crowd surge at Astroworld Festival. Apple, Travis Scott, Drake, Live Nation and others associated with the event now face a new suit seeking hundreds of millions in damages. On Tuesday, Houston attorney Tony Buzbee filed a $750 million lawsuit against Apple. headliner Travis Scott, performer Drake, and concert promoter Live Nation on behalf of 125 concert-goers, including the family of 21-year-old victim Axel Acosta.

Astroworld Festival 2021 was originally scheduled for November 5–6, 2021. On the first night, a crowd crush occurred, resulting in multiple deaths and the cancellation of the second night of the festival.

Acosta and nine others died following a deadly crowd surge at the concert on Nov. 5. On Sunday, 9-year-old Ezra Blount, became the youngest person to die from injuries sustained during the incident.

Buzbee’s suit, which also names Apple Music — which streamed the event — and Epic Records, alleges gross negligence and seeks damages for “the loss of mental and physical health, and human life.”
