The Astroworld Festival crowd surge incident on November 5, 2021 at NRG Park in Houston, Texas killed 10 people and hospitalized hundreds. The deadly day at the Travis Scott-headlining music festival was a grim reminder that a lack of crowd control at large-scale events can turn tragic. The incident brought to mind the 1979 The Who concert disaster, which led to a reduced use of "festival" seating in the United States, as well as other similar tragedies throughout history. From soccer riots to religious festivals to fireworks displays gone horribly wrong, these are some of the deadliest crowd surges in recorded history.
