Travis Scott has announced his first show following the release of UTOPIA and European fans are in luck as La Flame will be heading to Italy.
With the Egyptian Pyramids show on hold for now, Scott revealed on Tuesday (August 1) that he’s taking his talents to Rome to put on a Circus Maximus concert on August 7.

The Houston native posted the concert’s flyer on social media with the coordinates of the ancient Roman stone stadium. “UTOPIA IS WHEREVER YOU ARE,” the flyer reads.
He added on IG: “FIRST STOP UTOPIA LIVE AT CIRCUS MAXIMUS WE OUT !!!!!”
For those interested in making the trip across the pond, tickets are slated to go on sale Thursday (August 3) on Ticketmaster.

It’s unclear if the concert will be live-streamed for fans that won’t be in attendance. Although eagle-eyed ragers saw Ticketmaster accidentally upload an upcoming October 30 concert date for Travis Scott in Oakland, which could mean a U.S. tour is coming for the fall.
Scott was forced to cancel a show where he planned to unveil UTOPIA on July 28 at the Pyramids of Giza in Egypt, but Live Nation Middle East burst the rapper’s bubble.

“We regret to inform you that the UTOPIA show, originally scheduled for July 28th at the Pyramids of Giza in Egypt is cancelled,” Live Nation Middle East said in a statement. “Unfortunately, despite highest efforts, complex production issues meant that the show could not be constructed in the desert.”
Scott then confirmed the cancelation on Twitter: “Egypt in the pyramids will happen but due to demand and detail logistics they just need a bit a time to set lay on lands. I will keep up posted on a date which will be soon love you alllll.”
The news came after the Egyptian General Syndicate for Musical Professions announced that the performance would no longer be happening due to safety concerns and Scott’s “culturally damaging” beliefs.
The 32-year-old then pivoted to hosting a concert at the volcanoes of Pompeii, but has since scrubbed the idea from his social media accounts.

UTOPIA arrived to much fanfare on Friday (July 28) loaded with futures from Beyonce, Future, SZA, Drake, 21 Savage, Playboi Carti, The Weeknd, Kid Cudi and many more. The project is slated to debut comfortably atop the Billboard 200.
