It’s a bummer for young hip-hop fans, but the organizers are doing what they think is best for safety. Several young people, including children, were injured or killed at Astroworld. The promoters are hoping to prevent that by only welcoming a more mature audience.

The festival is headlined by Kid Cudi, J. Cole, and Future. Wiz Khalifa, French Montana, Chris Brown, Kodak Black, Gunna, Playboy Carti and more are also scheduled to perform. It’s a who’s who of rap music.
