In a rare announcement strategy, the lineup for Travis Scott’s second-annual Astroworld Festival dropped today, just one day before the sold-out event, with more than 50,000 fans set to see artists including Rosalía, Migos, Marilyn Manson, Pharrell Williams, Young Thug and more in the rapper’s hometown of Houston.

Curated by Scott himself, the lineup also includes Playboi Carti, Gucci Mane, DaBaby, Houston’s Megan Thee Stallion, Young Dolph and Key Glock, Pop Smoke and Tay Keith, and Sheck Wes and Don Toliver from Scott’s Catcus Jack record label.
The event, which sold out with no lineup announced, is calling itself the largest single-day artist-curated festival in the country. The official 2019 charity partner for ASTROWORLD Festival is Workshop Houston with a portion of proceeds from the event being donated to the local nonprofit. 
The festival is produced by Texas-based ScoreMore Shows, which produces the annual Mala Luna and JMBLYA Festivals as well as J. Cole’s Dreamville festivals. The company, co-founded by concert promoter Sascha Stone Guttfruend, was acquired by Live Nation in 2018. 
Scott has become a touring force, headlining major festivals as well as headlining arenas, good enough to top Pollstar’s Q1 Top 100 Tours chart. North American agent Cara Lewis told Pollstar for the feature, “He worked hard, he had a connection with his fans, he had a massive social media following, even in the early days. And he worked for it, but by the end of the tour it was evident that he was going to be a superstar.”
According to Pollstar Boxoffice reports, the tour’s largest hauls were two-night stands at Madison Square Garden (Nov. 27-28) and the Forum (Dec. 19-20), which grossed $2.9 million and $2.5 million, respectively. In fact, he has sold out MSG three times in the last six months, including a March 2 date with a greater ticket price range that yielded $2.1 million, Scott’s highest single-night gross yet.
