Travis Scott’s Coachella return in April 2025 stood out amid the recent buzz from Netflix’s Trainwreck: The Astroworld Tragedy documentary, released June 10. The doc revisited the deadly 2021 festival incident, sparking heated online debates around Scott’s responsibility and the safety roles of promoters like Live Nation.
At Coachella, Scott performed full headline sets both weekends—his first festival appearance here since 2017. Weekend 1 drew mixed reactions with some complaints about delays and performance issues. Weekend 2 saw a stronger setlist featuring hits like "Sicko Mode" plus new tracks "Oh Jacques" and "She Going Dumb," though audiences reported sharply divided experiences: some zones were subdued and sparsely attended, others filled with chaotic mosh pits and palpable anxiety.
Reddit discussions exploded, dissecting these contrasts and questioning why Scott remained a prime festival draw amid lingering Astroworld fallout. Critics targeted Live Nation’s event management and called for more accountability and improved safety measures.
This moment underlines the tension between artist legacy, fan loyalty, and the urgent need for crowd safety reforms. Extra Chill will continue tracking how these dynamics reshape festival lineups and policies moving forward.
