When We Were Young created quite a buzz when it was first announced. While its shows will feature some of the biggest names in alternative music, there were also security concerns about the festival, especially since organizer Live Nation was also the promoter behind Astroworld music festival in Houston.
At Astroworld, 10 people died of compression asphyxia after a crowd surge during a Travis Scott concert, where people reported that they were squeezed together so tightly they could not breathe or move their arms. Those who died ranged in age from 9 to 27.
Some 300 people were injured and treated at the festival site and 25 were taken to hospitals. Multiple lawsuits over injuries and death at the concert were filed. Live Nation is among the companies being sued.
In response to safety concerns about When We Were Young, Live Nation issued a statement saying “the safety of fans, artists and staff is thoroughly planned for among event organizers and in coordination with local authorities.”
“We have seen a lot of excitement around this festival and we look forward to putting on an incredible event for all of the fans this October,” according to the statement.
