With preparations for Travis Scott‘s Astroworld Festival well underway, Apple Music announced that it will be exclusively livestreaming the first night of the Houston event.
The Apple service confirmed that the Utopia artist will be taking the stage on Friday, November 5, with the livestreaming event kicking off at 7 p.m. PT/10 p.m. ET. “Since 2018, Travis Scott has made it a point to bring the world he knows as a superstar MC back home to Houston, the city that made him, in the form of his Astroworld Festival,” Apple Music shared. “The name of a now-shuttered local amusement park and Travis’ third studio album, Astroworld has in the past featured games, rides, and more special guests than anyone could imagine, and 2021’s edition is shaping up to be no different.”
The upcoming event will be its first iteration since 2019 due to COVID-19 and was named one of HYPEBEAST’s music festivals to attend this year. Guests attending can catch performances from SZA, Chief Keef, Bad Bunny, Young Thug, Tame Impala, 21 Savage, Baby Keem, Master P, Earth, Wind & Fire, Roddy Ricch, Lil Baby, Don Toliver, SoFaygo, Bia, Toro Y Moi, Chase B, Teezo, Touchdown, Houston All Stars, Sheck Wes, Metro Boomin and Yves Tumor.
Elsewhere in music, a deluxe version of Kanye West’s DONDA could be on the way.
