Travis Scott announces inaugural Astroword Festival in Houston
1 / 60

Back to Gallery

Travis Scott has announced his inaugural Astroworld Festival, Nov. 17 at NRG Park, in partnership with ScoreMore Shows and LiveNation.

It comes on the heels of his “Astroworld” album, which debuts at No. 1 this week on the Billboard 200, limited-edition merch and surprise release shows.

Scott will headline the festivities — just across from the former Astroworld site, of course — which will boast multiple performers across multiple stages. The lineup is expected soon.

David Stromberg, Scott’s manager and GM of Cactus Jack Records, said in a statement that the “ultimate goal in launching this Fest is to bring some well-deserved recognition to Travis’ hometown of Houston, the place that has made him both the man and creative artist he is today.
