7/14/2023 0 Comments Travis scott mosh pit madness![]() ![]() Someone overheard us and told us we were at the wrong stage. Since there was a bit of time until his set we went to Megan Thee Stalion’s set since we thought that Playboi Carti’s set would take place after hers at the chills stage.Īfter her set was done we anxiously awaited Playboi Carti. The next set I had my eyes on was Playboi Carti’s, I told Asher and Alex we cannot miss this one no matter what. We all finally got water and were feeling much better. We left his set 15 minutes earlier because Alex and I were dehydrated and I almost fainted but a random guy helped me out and got me out of there. The artists performing there were Tay Keith, Don Toliver, Sheck Wes, Houston Allstars, Pop Smoke, Young Dolph and Key Glock, Da Baby, Megan Thee Stallion, Young Thug, Playboi Carti, Migos, Marilyn Manson, Pharell Williams, Rosalia, and of course, Travis Scott.Īfter getting merch we were starving and decided to get food as there was time until the next set we had our eyes on, Da Baby’s.Īlthough we bought food we still hadn’t gotten any water as they sold food and water in different locations, so I entered Da Baby’s set parched.Īlthough we started in the back, the mosh pits were able to take us to the front and it was amazing. ![]() It was really unorganized and we ended up missing Sheck Wes and Don Toliver’s set. I waited in the merch line for 1 hour and 30 minutes and when I was purchasing the items it took another 30 minutes. ![]() He also told me I could get a shirt or anything $50 or under with his card so I ended up getting a free shirt. Another guy didn’t want to wait in line so he trusted me, a complete stranger, with his credit card to buy him the things he needed. When they finally arrived at the security guard told them they wouldn’t be able to cut me so they gave me their money and cards so I could buy what they needed. I ended up making the acquaintance of a nice kid my age at the line and he let me use his phone to call Alex.Īlex and Asher finally got in 40 minutes later and at this point I had to let people cut me at the merchandise line so that Alex and Asher could cut me. My efforts paid off because I had a great spot in the line. As soon as I got in I rushed to the merchandise booth. It turns out they were on the other side but I was much closer to the front.Īlthough the final gate was expected to open at 12 it ended up opening at 12:45 in the afternoon. I was pretty close to the front and I wanted to call Alex to see where he had ended up but my phone ran out of battery so I had to call him from a strangers phone. It was finally time for the last gate and the security check. The fence was taken down, thousands of people were running at the same time and three people fell and were stampeded over.ĭuring this chaos I got separated from Asher and Alex. At 11:30 the second gate leading to the final gate finally opened and it was absolute chaos. The gates were expected to open at 12 AM and when the clock struck 11 AM people were more restless than ever. By 10:30 AM I had already seen 5 people kicked out. Reinforcements for security arrived at around 10 AM and they started pushing the line back and threatened to kick people out if they didn’t cooperate. They also called the firefighters to hose us down if it came to it.Īt this point I was starting to wonder if this festival was for me, there were a lot of nice people and there were just as many people that were crazy and willing to do anything to get in early. Once 9 AM came around the line broke down the first gate and it seemed as if we were about to break down the gate heading into the festival but the security staff took out tasers and threatened to use them. It was kind of a nerve wrecking moment because Alex, Asher and I were right in the middle of this mess and were covering our heads for protection. Mosh pits started forming and people were throwing their items including water bottles, food and even their chairs. Despite the weather being cold we were determined to be at the front of the merchandise line.īy 8 AM in the morning the line was huge and people were already going crazy. ![]() We camped out at 3 AM in the morning and were at the front of the line. With almost 70,000 people attending I was lucky enough to be able to attend the festival with two of my friends, Asher Wong and Alex Pinwatana. 27, Houston native rapper Travis Scott announced that he would be holding a second Astroworld Festival which would be taking place on the Nov. A very special thank you to Denise Wong who made this trip possible. ![]()
