Nine of the 10 wrongful death lawsuits filed after a deadly crowd surge at the 2021 Astroworld music festival have been settled.
Terms of the settlements were confidential, and a gag order is in place.
State District Judge Kristen Hawkins said she planned to discuss the 10th case at next week’s hearing along with potential trials related to the injury cases filed after the deadly concert.
More than 4,000 plaintiffs filed hundreds of lawsuits after the concert; there are 2,400 injury cases still pending.
At least four wrongful death lawsuits had previously been settled and announced in court records.
But Wednesday was the first time that lawyers in the litigation had given an update that nine of the 10 wrongful death lawsuits had been resolved.
