![]() The 2020 festival was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Texas, with a promised return in 2021. Prior to the festival, three people were injured in an incident where barricades placed outside the entrance collapsed and fans rushed to enter the festival. The festival was reported to increase in attendance from the 2018 edition, up to 50,000. In addition to hip hop artists, artists of other genres such as Rosalía and Marilyn Manson, who perform nuevo flamenco and hard rock respectively, added different genres to the festival. The festival returned in 2019 with an expanded lineup. The making of the festival as well as the album of the same name were the subjects of the 2019 Netflix original film, Look Mom I Can Fly. Performances generally alternate between two stages called "Thrills" and "Chills" with the "Chills" stage being the larger of the two. The motivations of the festival were described as “bring back the beloved spirit and nostalgia of AstroWorld, making a childhood dream of Travis’ come true.“ The original lineup featured mostly hip-hop artists such as Young Thug, Post Malone, Metro Boomin and Scott himself. The festival was launched in 2018, the same year that Scott released his studio album of the same name. ![]()
