Travis Scott makes history with his "Circus Maximus Tour" after it becomes the highest-selling tour by a solo rapper.
New data reveals the Houston native's recent international tour in support of his UTOPIA album grossed $209.3 million and sold 1.7 million tickets to 76 shows around the world. He's the only solo rapper thus far to sell that many tickets for one tour. 50 Cent is the only other artist who came close after he sold over one million tickets during his "Final Lap Tour" in celebration of the 20th anniversary of his Get Rich or Die Tryin' album.
Travis Scott started his "Circus Maximus" tour last October in Charlotte and brought the visually stunning show to four continents around the world. Following his first leg with Teezo Touchdown, Don Toliver, Chase B and others in the U.S. and Canada, Scott traveled to Europe where he spent the summer performing in the U.K., Spain, Italy, Germany, and other countries. The "FE!N" artist kicked off the fall season in South American countries like Brazil, Colombia, and Argentina before he hit up Puerto Rico and Mexico. He performed his final U.S. date at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey before he went down under for his run through Oceania. He closed out the tour in New Zealand at the end of October.
The Cactus Jack founder achieved his latest feat after he announced the next phase of his career. He teased the beginning of his "new chapter" after Coachella confirmed he would close out the music festival in April 2025. He promised a "first of its kind" performance and even alluded to dropping new music in the spring.
"YALL [ninja emoji] GOT TILL APRIL CAUSE IM COMING," he wrote in his caption.
Coachella is going down April 11-12 and April 18-20.
