Travis Scott is taking his No. 1 album on tour. New music is on the way from Doja Cat and TXT. Beyonce adds mayor to her long list of titles. I catch up with K-pop newcomer LEO, and we look back at J.Lo and Shakira’s epic Super Bowl halftime show.
We’re back with more Billboard News. I’m Tetris Kelly. It’s Wednesday, August 30th, and we’ve got another major tour to add to this year’s list.
Travis Scott is taking his ‘Utopia’ album on tour, but one location is noticeably missing from the announcement. Travis Scott performed his Billboard 200 chart-topping album for the first time in Rome at the Circus Maximus. The 60,000-person show caused quite the controversy, with 60 people reportedly getting injured and locals calling authorities reporting they thought they were experiencing an earthquake. Prior to that, Travis was supposed to perform the album in front of the Pyramids of Giza in Egypt but ended up getting canceled. But North America will get the Utopia – Circus Maximus experience when the tour starts in Charlotte, North Carolina, on October 11th, and makes 28 stops ending in Toronto on December 29th. He’ll play his largest headlining show here in LA at SoFi Stadium. But one location is missing from the schedule. It’s his hometown of Houston, Texas. The last time Travis Scott performed there was during the Astroworld Festival in 2021, where 10 people tragically died. A Houston grand jury declined to file criminal charges against Scott.
