Attorneys representing more than 200 people claiming they were injured in last week's Astroworld Festival stampede in Houston said on Friday they are filing another 90 lawsuits against the promoters of the event in which at least nine people died.

A stampede of fans during rap star Travis Scott's Astroworld Festival last Friday killed nine people between the ages of 14 and 27 and injured scores.

"They went to the concert, expected it to be safe, not expecting it to be deadly and they are shaken and they keep having these nightmares," Attorney Ben Crump announced at a news conference in Houston.

The filing of the latest 90 cases follows at least 50 other suits have been brought against producer Live Nation Entertainment Inc and Scott over the deaths and injuries related to the concert.

Crump said any one of several concert officials could have prevented deaths and injuries by stopping the show and turning on the house lights when the chaos in the crowd became apparent.
