Travis Scott has reportedly been pulled from the lineup for the 2022 Coachella Valley Music and Arts festival. According to Variety, sources say that the festival informed Travis’ agent of its intent to pull him from the bill, and that it would pay him a fee for the cancelation — which is typically 25 percent. An insider has claimed that Travis has attempted to keep his slot and even offered to forfeit his performance fee.
A Change.org petition was started in the days after the Astroworld tragedy, demanding that Travis be removed from the lineup. The petition reached over 60,000 signatures.
Coachella is set to take place on April 15th-17th and April 22nd-24th in Indio, Calif. A new headliner will be announced in the coming weeks.
