In recent days, public opinion has paid special attention to the tragic tragedy in Justin Scott's performance at the Astroworld Music Festival.
This tragedy left 8 people dead, 300 injured and Travis Scott also faced many criticisms for his indifferent and insensitive attitude towards the safety of the audience.
In contrast to Travis Scott, some other artists are highly appreciated for their responsible attitude and skillful handling of chaotic or intentional agitation situations of a part of the audience during a performance.
ASAP Rocky
ASAP Rocky a close colleague of rapper Travis Scott once shared how shocked he was when he saw the crowd in the stands screaming and stepping on each other during Rolling Loud in 2019.
I saw many people falling and injured. I was very confused and confused about how to handle it at that time ASAP Rocky recalled. As soon as he realized that the incident was gradually losing control, the male artist stopped singing and signaled to the lighting system to be directed to a place with a lot of chaos for the audience. ASAP Rocky constantly reassures fans to stay calm and not be exaggerated so that the show can continue safely.
The male rapper even mobilized his own security team to support the security team to resolve the matter. ASAP Rocky's sense of responsibility and quick response have received many compliments and high praise from the audience since then.
Linkin Park
During the performance of The Carnivores Tour on August 15, 2014, Linkin Park also encountered a similar situation when the stands suddenly became chaotic, causing many people to faint on the spot, and others were injured by strong impacts.
Realizing the instability, the two members of the group, Chester Bennington and Mike Shinoda, immediately stopped playing music and issued a warning to the audience below to stop jostling and pushing as well as regulate the chaos of the crowd.
We need to put everyones safety first. Everyone should stay calm and stand still, don't try to move close to the stage and create a minimal stretch with those around them" - member Mike Shinoda spoke up. Immediately after that, the crowd gradually stabilized, and those who had fainted were quickly moved to a breathable place and taken to the hospital for health treatment.
Linkin Park's move to quickly handle the situation and somewhat minimize the casualties in the crowd has received high praise not only from the audience but also from local authorities.
