Travis Scott headlining South America festival for his first performance since Astroworld tragedy

Scott hosted his Astroworld Festival in November, which left 10 attendees dead

Travis Scott is officially returning to the stage for the first time since the Astroworld Festival tragedy in November that resulted in 10 deaths and hundreds of injuries.

The Primavera Sound Festival posted its official lineup to its Instagram account Wednesday, and it includes Scott, 30, as one of the festival’s headliners. 

The show will be held in Chile, Brazil and Argentina in November, just a year after the rapper hosted Astroworld.

This year is the festival’s first time in South America. In previous years, the festival called Barcelona home. Scott will be headlining alongside Lorde and the Artic Monkeys.

TMZ reported that the Primavera Sound Festival is one of a few upcoming performances for the rapper, and he will reportedly be announcing three U.S. festival appearances soon. 

Earlier this month, Scott appeared on his first song since the tragedy. He is featured on rapper Future and producer Southside's track, "Hold That Heat.

Since the tragedy, Scott has spoken about Astroworld three times, including his initial apology video, a subsequent interview and his announcement of a new philanthropic campaign.

In March, the rapper shared with his Instagram followers a link to his philanthropic campaign, Project HEAL.

"Over the past few months, I’ve been taking the time and space to grieve, reflect and do my part to heal my community," Scott began. "Most importantly, I want to use my resources and platform moving forward towards actionable change. This will be a lifelong journey for me and my family.

"While it’s easy for corporations and institutions to stay in the shadows, I feel as a leader in my community, I need to step up in times of need," he continued. "My team and I created Project HEAL to take much needed action towards supporting real solutions that make all events the safest spaces they can possibly be. I will always honor the victims of the Astroworld tragedy who remain in my heart forever.

"Giving back and creating opportunities for the youth is something I’ve always done and will continue to do as long as I have the chance. This program will be a catalyst to real change and I can’t wait to introduce the rest of the technology and ideas we’ve been working on. See you all so soon."

Scott has faced criticism for not stopping the show, but he has claimed multiple times he was unaware of how dire the situation was in the crowd from his vantage point on the stage and only learned of how bad things got after his set had concluded.
