HOUSTON, Texas — Live Nation, one of the country’s biggest concert promoters, is feverishly pushing against a deposition of its chief executive officer over the 2021 Astroworld Festival tragedy, where 10 people were killed during a crowd crush.
It is the latest development in a case where the last of the victims’ families have settled; however, as of recently, the event promoter is still facing outstanding claims from others who were injured during the event and are making it clear they are not willing to settle.
This action has landed them in front of the Texas Supreme Court.
Live Nation is already under fire and has been named in a lawsuit with Ticketmaster for inflated ticket prices.
