Travis Scott has extended his record-breaking Circus Maximus World Tour with a slate of international stadium shows this autumn.
Produced by Live Nation, the global run will comprise five stops: Johannesburg (South Africa), Delhi (India), Seoul (Korea), Hainan (China) and Tokyo (Japan).
The outing includes Scott’s first-ever performance in India at Dehli’s Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium on 18 October. With recent concerts by the likes of Ed Sheeran, Coldplay, Green Day and Shawn Mendes, leading executives say the India’s touring scene is poised to ‘explode’.
The 33-year-old’s stop in China at Hainan’s Sanya Stadium on 1 November is also notable, as the country loosens its strict policies for international artists.
The Circus Maximus World Tour includes Scott’s first-ever performance in India
Scott’s Circus Maximus World Tour kicked off in October 2023 and included 76 sold-out stops across North America, Europe, the UK, Latin America, Australia, and New Zealand throughout 2023 and 2024. The tour concluded as the highest-grossing rap tour in history with $209.3 million and 1.7 million tickets sold.
Next month, Scott will headline Coachella Valley Arts & Music Festival at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California.
The rapper is billed as the fourth headliner, occupying the same spot on the poster that No Doubt did in 2024 with the tagline “Travis Scott designs the desert”.
In a press release, Scott’s representatives state he is slated to headline the main stage on Saturday night “where he will debut an entirely new era of music to the world”.
Scott was scheduled to headline in 2020 before the festival was cancelled due to the pandemic. He was booked again in 2022, but was taken off the lineup following the fatal crowd crush at his own Astroworld Festival in 2021.
The Houston-hailing act will also headline the UK’s Reading & Leeds in August alongside Chappell Roan, Bring Me The Horizon and Hozier.
Scott is represented by Cara Lewis in North America and Wasserman Music’s James Rubin for the rest of the world.
