TRAVIS Scott has been slammed by fans for booking multiple festivals ‘too soon’.
The backlash comes after the Astroworld tragedy saw 10 people lose their lives at the rapper’s own music festival.
Travis, who is Kylie Jenner’s baby daddy, was announced as a headline performer at Primavera Sound on Wednesday.
The huge music event is a touring festival that begins in Barcelona, and travels to international destinations including Los Angeles and Sao Paulo.
The Primavera schedule will also see the 30-year-old headline concerts in Buenos Aires, Santiago, and Porto toward the end of this year.
However, Kardashian fans on Reddit were not happy with the announcement, which comes six months after the fatal crowd crush at Astroworld in Houston, Texas.
One user wrote: “Disgusting. Also, I’m really surprised he’s been insured for these events.”
Another agreed: “These festivals are brave. From a PR perspective, and by hoping that nothing horrible happens again on the day.”
A third asked: “Is it me or does it just feel too soon?
“I don’t feel he was sincere with his weird Instagram apology. Is he going to stop promoting people to go crazy at his concerts?”
Fans were already unhappy with the Sicko Mode star after he teased his comeback to music with a series of billboards.
After laying low following the devastating event, which is also the subject of a new documentary, several billboards were spotted in Los Angeles.
The mysterious billboards hinted at his return to music with a reference to Utopia, which is the name of Travis’ upcoming fourth studio album.
“No one should go to another Travis concert until he figures his s**t out. It’s not safe,” one fan remarked online.
“Yes, I agree with you 100 percent. Dude didn’t even do any jail time … straight a**hole,” a second harshly added.
A third asked: “Why is Travis Scott still a thing after being responsible for multiple deaths?”
The Billboard Music Award-winning artist also received backlash for the apology he issued days after the tragic event on November 5.
Travis was overcome with emotion in an Instagram clip as he said he was “devastated”.
He reiterated that he could “never imagine anything like this happening”.
However, fans called his words “fake” and “PR apologies”.
Around 50,000 fans arrived for the first night of the sold-out, two-day event in November.
According to Texas officials, the crowd began to “compress towards the front of the stage” at around 9.15pm, sparking panic.

A “mass casualty incident” was declared at 9:38pm.
It emerged that Travis continued to perform for more than 30 minutes after the mass casualty announcement.
