tragedy, should festivals and concerts have a single person charged with the power of stopping a show if conditions grow dangerous? What greater demands will insurers be making since that Texas festival pointed up how an entertainment event can turn deadly? And where does responsibility start, or the buck end, if things go terribly wrong at a show?
After Astroworld, many noted that the rampant gate-crashing could have been seen as a portent of what was to come. “It’s definitely an issue with fencing,” Meredith said. “In fact, Coachella spent a lot of money to put a gigantic, really solid fence with cement underground, because it was becoming an issue and a problem. I remember back in the Grateful Dead days in the ‘80s — we couldn’t play L.A. because of the gate-crashers.
“You’re one lawsuit away from changing your antics,” added Bauer. But, he noted, however much inciting a performer might do, “The promoter is always going to be more on the hook than the artist, because they’re the ones in charge of the site overall. It’s the promoter, at the end of the day.” But the more prevalent danger than active shooters is always just going to be a very active fan base. And, without directly referencing the criticism that some have made of the Astroworld set times, where there was no competition for Scott as a headliner when the second stage’s performances came to an end, the movement of fans between stages came up for discussion as a previously unheralded point of possible danger.
The unfortunate irony is that the need for heightened security comes at a time when maintaining even prior staffing levels seems close to impossible, given the so-called Great Resignation.
