(WBAP/KLIF) — A Congressional Committee has launched an investigation into the promoter of the Astroworld music festival.
The House Oversight and Reform Committee sent a letter, Wednesday, to Live Nation’s President and CEO, Michael Rapino.
The committee is requesting Live Nation brief the committee by January 12th.
The letter asked for information about the company’s role in the November 5th festival organized by rap superstar Travis Scott.
The committee requested details about security, crowd control and mass casualty incident planning, in additions to details about pre-show safety concerns raised before the concert.
Ten people, including two North Texans, died during a crowd surge at the event.
