Astroworld Documentary: The Tale of the Survivors and a Netflix Documentary

On November 5, 2021, what should have been a night of music and celebration turned into one of the deadliest concert tragedies in recent U.S. history. At Travis Scott's Astroworld Festival in Houston, a crowd surge killed ten people-including 23-year-old Rudy Peña-and injured hundreds more.

This book tells the human story behind the headlines.

Astroworld Documentary is a gripping, uncompromising account of what happened that night-from the build-up of unchecked hype and broken safety systems to the voices of survivors who lived through the chaos. At its heart is Rudy Peña, a kind-hearted college student from Laredo, Texas, whose dream weekend turned fatal.

Blending first-hand testimony, legal insight, cultural critique, and a hard look at the Netflix documentary Trainwreck: The Astroworld Tragedy, this book exposes how corporate indifference, fan culture, and algorithm-driven storytelling have turned real lives into viral content.

It's not just a book about a concert gone wrong.
It's about what happens when capitalism, culture, and catastrophe collide-and the people caught in the middle.
