Travis Scott’s ‘Circus Maximus Tour’ Sparks Frenzy in Italy Once More

Last August, Travis Scott staged One Night Only In Utopia at Circus Maximus in Rome, Italy, to promote his then-newly released album, Utopia. However, the performance posed a public safety risk when the jumping crowd caused fear of an earthquake, as the historic monument wasn’t built to support such events.

Scott continued with his Circus Maximus Tour across North America. The tour returned to Italy on Tuesday, July 23, where it evoked a sense of déjà vu.

According to Billboard, the 80,000 people in attendance at Ippodromo Snai La Maura in Milan “sparked worries of an earthquake.”

“While the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology didn’t report any earthquakes in Milan, X [formerly Twitter] users complained about vibrations,” Billboard clarified.

Scott posted a video to Instagram showing the massive crowd jumping up and down. He captioned it, “Last night was a dream. ‘NO THIS ISN’T A FESTIVAL. THIS IS A SHOW ON TOUR,’ in the words of Stromberg. Milan y’all owe me nothing. Y’all gave y’all all 80K of y’all had the best time ever.”

Earlier this week, Scott announced a One Night In Utopia show at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, scheduled for October 9.

“NEW YORK & NEW JERSEY I WANTED TO DO THIS VENUE DURING THE FIRST LEG,” Scott wrote. “BUT FOOTBALL SEASON HAD IT TIED UP. I HAD TO MAKE SURE WE SPIN THE BLOCK. NEW YORK HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE PLACE FOR ME WHEN I PERFORM IT LETS ME KNOW THE REAL METRIC OF THE RAGE. CANT WAITTTTTT FOR ONE NIGHT IN NEW YORK.”

Scott’s Circus Maximus Tour will continue through Germany, Spain, and Portugal before heading to South America. The tour will hit Mexico City, Mexico, on September 21 and East Rutherford, New Jersey, on October 9. It will conclude with brief stops in Australia and New Zealand.
