The Astroworld Festival tragedy has taken another turn as United States Congress is stepping in to learn all the ins and outs of what happened at the deadly November festival hosted by Travis Scott.

The Committee’s charge is led by both Rep. Carolyn B. Maloney and Rep. James Comer. They are looking for all information on the failed festival by January 7 with a briefing possibly as soon as January 12. Travis Scott isn’t named once by name in the memo sent to Live Nation.

“Recent reports raise serious concerns about whether your company took adequate steps to ensure the safety of the 50,000 concertgoers who attended Astroworld Festival,” the memo reportedly reads.
