Travis Scott’s inaugural Astroworld Festival in Houston, pictured here during Rae Sremmurd’s Nov. 17 set, is an example of the increasing number of major artists curating or hosting their own festivals.

Texas-born, Grammy-nominated hip-hop artist Travis Scott has announced the second-annual Astroworld Festival, which will take place at NRG Park in Houston Nov. 9.

While the announcement says Scott will curate the lineup himself and will headline the event, the music lineup is yet to be announced.

The festival will again take place across the street from AstroWorld, an amusement park opened in downtown Houston in 1968, seeking to bring back the nostalgia of AstroWorld for Houston residents and travelers alike.

Scott recently released an 85-minute Netflix documentary entitled “Look Mom I Can Fly”, which includes footage from the inaugural festival event last November. The film documents a two-year span in which Scott crafted and released his Grammy-nominated album Astroworld, traveled the globe on two headlining tours, performed at the NFL Super Bowl and the 2019 Grammy Awards.

Astroworld tickets are on sale now, with GA starting at $89 and VIP starting at $250.

A portion of proceeds from the event will be donated to the official ASTROWORLD Festival charity partner, Workshop Houston, which creates educational opportunities through hands-on, project-based learning.

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.
