Post Malone Replacing Travis Scott at Day N Vegas Festival

Post Malone will be replacing Travis Scott as a headliner for the Day N Vegas festival this weekend. Promoter AEG announced the news via social media Monday night.

Why Post Malone is Replacing Travis at Day N Vegas Festival

Variety has confirmed that Scott will not be performing at this weekend’s Day N Vegas Festival after sources describe Scott as being “too distraught to play.” Just less than a week ago, eight concert attendees died with hundreds also injured at Scott’s Astroworld festival that took place at Houston’s NRG Park. Scott also revealed that he will provide refunds for all who bought tickets to Astroworld.

Day N Vegas Officials’ Response

The Day N Vegas account first posted a message on Twitter after Scott pulled himself out over the weekend. “Travis Scott will no longer be performing at Day N Vegas. The security and safety of all attending Day N Vegas has been and is always top priority in our festival planning. We continue to work hand in hand with law enforcement, medical personnel and public safety agencies on our protocols for the weekend. Please take care of yourselves and each other. Look forward to seeing you in a few days.”

13 minutes later they posted the news of Post Malone being added to the lineup. “We are excited that POST MALONE has been added to close out Saturday night!”
