Rapper Travis Scott has ignited excitement among fans by teasing a new run of live shows in both the US and Europe. The artist took to his Instagram to provide a sneak peek into what could be the upcoming Utopia Tour Presents Circus Maximus tour.
In his Instagram post, Scott wrote, “UTOPIA TOUR SOON. US AND EURO DATES SOON TO BE ANNOUNCE. I MISS THE ROAD I MISSS YALLLL.” This announcement marks a significant moment for Scott, as it signals his return to touring since the tragic Astroworld incident in November 2021, during which 10 individuals lost their lives and many more were injured due to a crowd crush.
Notably, a recent development saw a grand jury in Texas concluding that Scott would not face charges related to the Astroworld tragedy. A comprehensive report on the incident has now been filed.

Despite the challenging circumstances, Travis Scott’s new album Utopia is proving to be a resounding success. The album has rapidly climbed the charts, becoming the second-most streamed album of 2023 within two weeks of its release. With over 650 million global streams, Utopia has already made its mark. Notably, Apple Music reported that the album achieved the largest first-day streams of 2023, while Spotify declared it the most streamed record on its debut day, amassing 128 million streams.
In terms of both sales and streams, Utopia boasts the third-highest first-week numbers of 2023, following closely behind Morgan Wallen and Taylor Swift.
To celebrate the album’s release, Travis Scott delivered a special live performance and livestream from Italy’s iconic Circus Maximus – a venue historically known for chariot races. During the event, Scott welcomed his mentor Kanye West onto the stage, emphasizing their intertwined musical journeys. Addressing the crowd, Scott exclaimed, “There is no Utopia without Kanye West. There is no Travis Scott without Kanye West. There is no Rome without Kanye West. Make some noise for Ye.”
Travis Scott‘s forthcoming Circus Maximus show follows the cancellation of his original Utopia launch show at Egypt’s Pyramids of Giza due to unforeseen “production issues.” As anticipation builds for Scott’s return to touring, fans eagerly await further announcements regarding the Utopia Tour Presents Circus Maximus.
