Is there trouble brewing in Travis Scott’s “utopia?”

Scott, 32, encountered an early setback on his Circus Maximus Tour. After starting in Charlotte on October 11, Scott made his way to Raleigh where he performed to a sold-out crowd at the PNC Arena on Friday, October 13. However, the second concert scheduled for Saturday had to be postponed, leaving fans informed at the last minute. According to Billboard, the venue website advised attendees to retain their tickets as they would be valid for the rescheduled date. Some concertgoers arrived at the PNC Arena unaware of the change, expressing their disappointment and confusion to local media. One fan named Tyler Long shared, "They just told me they have no explanation [for] why he's not here. Nothing to stress over, but at the same time, Travis, I wish you were here, you feel me?"

We contacted Scott’s representative for a response.

On Saturday, October 14, Travis posted a video of his performance at the PNC Arena with the caption, “I was still dreaming about this last night.” Scott followed up with a second Instagram post on the same day, saying, “TEXAS LET'S DO THIS! Looking forward to seeing you soon, Dalllas! NC, THANK YOU! It was an incredibly energizing experience.” However, a few fans in North Carolina expressed their grievances to Scott in response to that post.

Some fans expressed disappointment and frustration with the lack of explanation for the postponement of the concert. One fan mentioned selling tickets for two days and leaving after the first day, while another fan mentioned driving for almost five hours and wanting an explanation for the cancellation on the second night in Raleigh. Many fans were left wondering about the reasons behind the postponement and expressed their disappointment for waiting months for the show without any communication.

Houston, Texas, Scott's hometown, currently does not have a scheduled date for his performance. The last time he performed in Houston was before the tragic AstroWorld Festival incident in 2021, where 10 people lost their lives and several others were injured in a crowd rush.

Following the incident, Scott endured an extensive eight-hour session of questioning. Nonetheless, a Houston grand jury decided against pressing criminal charges on him. Despite this, numerous individuals who claim to be victims have lodged over 400 civil lawsuits against both Scott and Live Nation.
