Texas-born, GRAMMY
Award-nominated, and multi-platinum hip-hop artist Travis Scott is proud to
announce that his Astroworld Festival will officially return this coming fall
on Friday, November 5 and Saturday, November 6 at NRG Park in Houston, Texas.
The third annual music festival is expanding to two days this year due to
overwhelming demand as well as rave reviews around the festival’s incredibly
curated lineup personally selected by Scott, and an experience that fans have now
come to expect from his one-of-a-kind music festival.
Tickets go on sale this
coming Wednesday, May 5 at 10:00 a.m. CT at AstroworldFest.com. Fans are
encouraged to purchase tickets now as each of the previous two events has sold
out in advance prior to a music lineup being revealed.
With a new creative theme,
“Open Your Eyes To A Whole New Universe”, the critically-acclaimed rapper
turned mainstream culture phenom looks to once again curate and produce a
larger-than-life multi-stage music festival experience in his hometown of
Houston. Every detail of Astroworld Festival is an extension of Scott’s
personal creativity and unique vision, truly making Astroworld a festival like
no other.
Scott is also now confirmed
as the festival’s headlining performer as he prepares for the forthcoming
release of his highly-anticipated new album, Utopia. The full music
lineup will be revealed at a later date closer to the festival. Watch the
official trailer for the 2021 music festival via YouTube.
The music festival looks to
once again bring back the beloved spirit and nostalgia of AstroWorld, the
legendary and now-defunct amusement park that was located across the street
from the current festival grounds after first opening in 1968. As Scott grew up
in nearby Missouri City just outside of Houston and attended the park numerous
times as a child, Astroworld Festival will once again help relive the magic
that was while helping to ultimately make his lifelong dream come true.
Most recently in November
2019, the festival became the largest single-day artist-curated music festival
in the country, as well as the largest music festival in Scott’s hometown of
Houston as the sold-out event played host to over 50,000 fans from across the
globe for Scott’s special celebration of hip-hop, pop music, and Houston
culture. As Scott himself solely curates and hand-selects the festival’s music
lineup, past festival performances have featured some of today’s most
sought-after music acts beyond just hip-hop and R&B including Post Malone,
Rosalia, Pharrell Williams, Da Baby, Lil Wayne, Young Thug, Playboi Carti,
Megan Thee Stallion, among many others.
Two-day GA passes will be available for purchase beginning next
Wednesday, May 5 at 10:00 a.m. CT on AstroworldFest.com. Astroworld
Festival is also offering several premium VIP packages for those looking to
elevate their festival-going experience. Interested fans are encouraged to
purchase their passes as soon as possible as ticket prices will continue to
rise as the festival date approaches.
A portion of proceeds from the event will be
donated to the festival’s official charity partner, Cactus Jack
Foundation. Founded by Scott, the nonprofit organization looks to empower
and enrich the lives of youth by providing access to education and creative
resources to ensure long-term success. Please visit CactusJack.Foundation to learn more.
