Travis Scott’s Circus Maximus Sets New Highest Selling Tour Record By A Solo Rapper

Following the release of his Grammy-nominated, chart-topping 2023 album, Utopia, Travis Scott launched his epic Circus Maximus Tour on October 11, 2023, in Charlotte, North Carolina. This was Scott’s first full-scale concert tour in nearly five years, and fans were clearly excited to get the chance to see him perform again. Scott’s Circus Maximus Tour just set a record by becoming the highest grossing tour by a solo rapper in hip-hop history. The year-long worldwide trek finished up on October 30, 2024, in Auckland, New Zealand, and ultimately grossed $209.3 million while selling 1.7 million tickets worldwide. In addition to Scott’s record-setting Circus Maximus Tour, the rapper also scored a No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart back in August with the official release of his celebrated 2014 mixtape, Days Before Rodeo. Scott is also set to perform a special headlining set on Saturday nights at Coachella 2025 in what is billed as a “Travis Scott Designs the Desert” performance. (Billboard)
