TRAVIS SCOTT WILL, once again, headline his own Astroworld Festival on Nov. 5 and 6 at NRG Park in Scott's hometown of Houston, per the lineup released today. Other featured performers invited by the multi-platinum rapper include Tame Impala, Earth Wind & Fire, SZA, Lil Baby and fellow H-Town hip-hop star Don Toliver.

The third annual festival sold out within an hour of tickets going live back in April, but in celebration of the lineup announcement, a limited number of two-day general admission and VIP tickets have been made available for purchase online at AstroworldFest.com.

As a nod to the festival namesake, the Astroworld experience will this year include an amusement park and carnival games and rides, such as a roller coaster and bumper cars. Prizes for the games include limited-edition Astroworld-branded items, plus ones from the Houston Astros, Raising Cane's, Air Jordans and others.

When the festival last occurred — in 2019, before Covid — it was said to have been the largest single-day, artist-curated music fest in the country, and one of the largest such events ever in Houston. Some 50,000 people attended. It expanded to two days due to "overwhelming demand," per a rep.

Astroworld is also the name of Scott's smash 2018 record, which was nominated for a Grammy and named one of the best albums of the year by several publications, according to online sources.

Jacob Hilton a.k.a. Travid Halton

THERE IS A long recorded history of musicians applying their melodic and lyrical gifts to explore the darker corners of human existence and navigate a pathway toward healing and redemption. You have the Blues and Spirituals, of course, which offer transcendence amid tragedy in all of its guises. And then there’s Pink Floyd’s The Wall, Frank Sinatra’s In the Wee Small Hours, and Beyoncé’s Lemonade, three wildly divergent examples of the album as a cathartic, psychological, conceptual work meant to be experienced in a single sitting, much like one sits still to read a short story or a novel.
