After too many people came to see the auditions, the fire marshal cut them short. One host reminded the crowd that they were part of the Astroworld stampede.
Last Wednesday, Club Ice triedouts were held at Blume Lounge in Henderson (Nevada) – just outside Vegas.
The event became a lot too popular. TMZ reports that more than 1,000 women signed up, and the Fire Marshal was forced to stop it from happening to protect anyone else.
At one point, a host is heard saying: ‘This motherf***** too packed, y’all gotta back up. Y’all seen that s*** happen with Travis Scott the other night, y’all better pack up,’ referring to the deadly stampede at the Houston festival that killed 10 people.
According to reports, the fire marshal closed the auditions for the Club Ice dancers
‘Y’all not gonna be suing me, talking about ‘I let y’all do this s***,’ a man who appeared to be a host said. ‘Y’all seen that s*** happen with Travis Scott the other night, y’all better pack up’
The lounge was open to all members of the strip club who wanted to see the attemptouts.
“Absolutely free to come in and apply at the DOOR. WE ARE WELCOMING THE GENERAL PUBLIC AS WELL TO COME & WATCH THE AUDITIONS OF THE DANCERS,’ the club said on Instagram.
Video footage from the event shows nearly naked women dancing in a room that is fully lit while money is thrown in the air.
A man who appears to be hyping up the crowd shouts into a microphone: ‘We in motherf****** Las Vegas, Nevada. We are in Detroit. We in motherf****** Oakland.’
“Uh-oh! There goes the money, y’all.”
Another video shows a man warning the crowd to get back as they crowd onto the stage.
He referred to the Astroworld Festival in which 10 people were killed, eight of them during the November 5th show.
TMZ reports that women were still able get spots at the club’s soon-to open dance floor.
The Las Vegas Strip was just outside the venue for the tryouts, Blume Lounge, Henderson, Nevada.
The crowd ran to the stage, as Travis Scott prepared for his headline set.
Scott is well known for inducing his audiences to act wild at his shows. But video footage showed Scott stopping his show to make sure everyone was safe.
A 9-year old boy, who was being carried on the shoulders of his father at the time, died from the injuries received during the show’s 11th anniversary.
The festival and Scott, who founded it, are the subject of numerous lawsuits, including one filed by Texas attorney Thomas J. Henry on Thursday on behalf of 280 victims
Travis Scott was widely criticized for his continued playing for 38 minutes after Houston PD reported a major casualty at the Astroworld Festival’s November 5th.
Ezra Blount, 9, of Dallas, Texas, is the latest fatality in a deadly crowd surge during Scott’s performance
‘Y’all not gonna be suing me, talking about ‘I let y’all do this s***,’ the man at the Club Ice tryouts said.
