Travis Scott is set to play his first headlining festival in the US since his deadly Astroworld concert tragedy that left 10 people dead.
On Tuesday, it was announced that Scott, 31, has been booked to play the Day N Vegas Festival in Las Vegas, Nevada this September.
Other acts on the festival lineup include SZA, H.E.R., and Summer Walker.

The booking follows Scott’s first TV performance since Astroworld, at the 2022 Billboard Music Awards last month.
Scott had been keeping a relatively low profile the last six months but has been gradually making a comeback with a string of nightclub appearances.
He welcomed his second child with Kylie Jenner earlier this year, a boy originally named Wolf Webster before the parents decided to change it – though a new name has yet to be announced.
The deadly Astroworld incident took place during Scott’s performance set on the evening of Friday, November 5, in his hometown of Houston, Texas.

It spawned countless legal woes for Scott, as well as intense public backlash for his alleged handling of the deadly incident.
He was also sacked as a 2022 Coachella headliner, as well as a headliner for the Day N Vegas festival last year.
Last month it was revealed in a new court filing that more than 4,900 people were injured in the stampede at his concert.
Attorneys Jason Itkin, Richard Mithoff and, Sean Roberts said that 732 victims were severely injured and required extensive medical treatment after the stampede.
They claim an additional 1,649 received less extensive treatment, and the severity of 2,540 concertgoers’ injuries is still under review.
The filing did not specify what ‘extensive’ or ‘less extensive’ treatment comprised. When reached by DailyMail.com on Tuesday, Mithoff’s office refused to elaborate citing a court-issued February gag order.
They also refused to disclose the monetary damages victims are suing for.
It has been previously reported that around 125 people have filed civil lawsuits against Scott and concert promoter Live Nation with potential damages amounting to $750 million.
RollingStone also reported in May that Shanazia Williamson and Jarawd Owens are among those suing Scott, Live Nation and others, claiming in a lawsuit that Williamson was ‘trampled and crushed resulting in the death of her and Jarawd’s unborn child.’
