A lawyer for Live Nation, the concert company, said in court on Wednesday that settlements had been reached in all but one of the lawsuits over the deaths of 10 people who were fatally crushed during a performance by Travis Scott at the 2021 Astroworld festival in Houston.
Some of the organizers of the Astroworld festival knew that the space was too small, according to evidence uncovered during the preparations for trial.
Mr. Scott kept performing as people were suffocating, signaling a plan to continue the show until after Drake had performed despite efforts to stop the show earlier.
A police investigation pointed to what the plaintiffs identified as a potential reason: a $4.5 million contract with Apple requiring Mr. Scott to finish the show in order to get paid.
