I think Travis Scott ‘opted’ out

Opted out to have his set aired? Odd. Maybe he’s anti-BBC 😂

Yeah, I’m pretty sure he did it 2018 and it was later released. Don’t quote me on that though!

Will have been nothing to do with bad language, the crowd or setlist, will have been very boringly that Travis Scott opted out of his set being broadcast, which festival headliners fairly often do. (Same with Hozier)

I would have thought that the bbc cut hoziers broadcast because of how vocal he was about Palestine and Ukraine I would have thought he would have wanted it to be broadcast

Was mutually agreed beforehand by Hozier and BBC not to be broadcast, nothing to do with anything he said on the night https://www.readingchronicle.co.uk/news/25413737.bbc-didnt-show-hoziers-reading-festival-set-tv/ . Some artists just want more control over their performances being broadcast than others, sometimes they might want a fee for the licensing that the broadcaster isn’t willing to pay, etc.

Probably worried there’d be another Astroworld, considering the bloke is a complete bellend

He’s played a ton of times since then but sure.

Yeah you're right 4 years is plenty of time to forgive the very preventable deaths of 10 innocent people who were as young as 9

Who takes a 9 year old to that sort of gig?

u/Independent_Thing_40 14d ago

A full grown adult who listens to and supports Travis Scott apparently

No one should go to a gig with any thought of death

Travis bum boys hate to hear the truth

u/DampFlange 14d ago

How anyone can defend him is beyond me. He’s a grade a piece of shit.

Probably wondered how many people would be trampled to death while he was on and thought better of it. The cunt
