Where did Travis Scott perform in Rome?
It seems that another Travis Scott concert has ended in a disaster.
Travis Scott performed at Ancient Circus Maximus, in Rome on Monday, August 7 and it allegedly left 60 people needing medical help.
An unidentified person allegedly sprayed the crowd with pepper spray during the concert, confirmed Rome’s civil protection department to CNN.
Additional reports say that a 14-year-old boy was injured in a fall. It was presumed he was climbing the wall so he could watch the concert.
Are concerts becoming too dangerous to attend?
Online source Arnold & Itkin say, “It’s about managing and separating the crowd, so it does not become too dense,” in reference to “crowd surging.”
Organizers and performers share responsibility for protecting fans.
“Manage crowds at entrances and exits,” and use crowd spotters to spot surges ahead of time,” and most importantly, “have double the security for the number of attendees.”
