According to Billboard Boxscore, Travis Scott’s Circus Maximus Tour shattered records and redefined the live music experience, grossing an impressive $209.3 million across 76 dates. Drawing 1.7 million fans worldwide, the tour now holds the title for the highest-grossing tour by a solo rapper.
Scott’s global trek broke attendance records in the U.S. and Europe, but his most successful stop came in Melbourne, Australia. Over two shows in October, Scott generated $12.6 million and sold a staggering 115,000 tickets.
The Circus Maximus Tour solidifies Scott’s reputation as a powerhouse in live performance, cementing his legacy with record-breaking success and unforgettable moments for fans worldwide.
Travis Scott has introduced his latest footwear innovation, the CJ1 T-Rexx, a high-performance sneaker crafted for versatility and style. The CJ1 T-Rexx reflects Travis’ dynamic lifestyle with a bold design and unmatched functionality, debuting in a sleek black and dark mocha colorway.
Constructed with premium materials, including full-grain leather, suede, and canvas, the sneaker combines durability with all-day comfort. Key features include a rubber-wrapped sidewall for enhanced stability and a forefoot strap with a 3-D embroidered “TS” logo for quick and easy adjustments. Travis Scott’s signature reverse Swoosh completes the design, offering a distinctive aesthetic.
The CJ1 T-Rexx also showcases unique details, such as the Jumpman “Crown,” the Cactus Jack smiley logo, and a wear-away “Jack” graphic on the outsole, adding a personalized touch.
Available in a full range of sizes—including Baby/Toddler and Little Kids’—the CJ1 T-Rexx ensures that fans of all ages can step into Travis Scott’s world of style and performance.
Travis Scott has been doing some incredible things for hip-hop in 2024 despite not dropping any new music. His fans have been benefitting especially after the reissue of his sought-after 2014 mixtape, DAYS BEFORE RODEO. It made its way onto streaming platforms, vinyls, and dropped off multiple digital deluxe versions in the process as well. All of these different ways of purchasing the project eventually got him to number one on the Billboard Hot 200 chart. Another older release of his, ASTROWORLD, also made some noise this year thanks to tying a record held by Cardi B. Since the end of August, it’s just the second album to have every song go platinum.
However, it hasn’t just been his back catalog that’s kept him in the headlines. Several Nike and Jordan shoe collaborations are also either in the works or are going to be out soon. Performance wise, he’s been hitting stages across the country and all over the globe including Australia and Brazil. All of this and more has gotten him recognized by BET and Billboard for awards on awards. The latter especially is recognizing him a bunch of categories, which include Top Rap Artist, Top Male Rap Artist, and Top Rap Touring Artist.

The latter is the one we want to focus on exclusively because this latest record made by his Circus Maximus Tour may earn him this award. According to Billboard and multiple reports, Travis Scott now holds the record for the highest grossing tour for a solo rapper. He made a lucrative amount of money, raking in over $209.3 million. Obviously, to make a lot of dough you have to sell a ton of tickets and this one did.
1.7 million people attended one show or more after going on two legs with some special venues thrown in for good measure. Scott is competing with Nicki Minaj and the $uicideboy$, so he’s definitely got some stiff competition. It should be a tight race overall and it’s going to have us on the edge of our seats for a little while. The Billboard Music Awards don’t arrive until December 12 at 8:00 p.m. local time.

It’s still 2024, but the 2025 music festival season has already arrived. Which is to say, the Coachella lineup is here.
On Wednesday evening, America’s preeminent music festival released the poster for next year’s bill, including headliners Lady Gaga, Green Day, Post Malone, and Travis Scott. Further down, there’s everyone from Charli XCX to Basement Jaxx, Anitta to GloRilla, Keshi to Kraftwerk. It’s a stacked lineup, one that invites a few questions. Let’s begin with the most pressing matter…
1. Did One Band Make History On The Coachella Poster?
The first name that drew my attention on the Coachella 2025 poster wasn’t headliners Lady Gaga, Green Day, Post Malone, or Travis Scott. It wasn’t Megan Thee Stallion, in a victory lap from her mighty 2024, or FKA twigs, who will put on a high-concept spectacle, or Japanese Breakfast, even though her inclusion means we should be getting the follow-up to 2021’s excellent Jubilee next year. It was The Misfits. Specifically, The Misfits logo. Is this the first time a band’s font has appeared on a Coachella poster? The closest other examples I can think of are AC/DC in 2015 and Prince in 2008, but this is more unusual. Unprecedented even. Those were symbols; this is a specific font. Hopefully there’s plenty of french onion soup to go around.
2. Green Day Over Charli XCX?
No offense to Green Day, who are out on the road playing a pair of all-time classics (Dookie and American Idiot) from front to back, but it’s a little surprising that they got the Saturday headliner slot over Charli XCX. Over 30 years after releasing their first album, Billie Joe Armstrong & Co. are still more recognizable to the general public than Charli XCX, but for the Coachella crowd, the queen of Brat is a bigger and more zeitgeist-defining draw. I’m sure Green Day will put on a great show — they always do — and in the long run, they have the lead in historical significance. But right now, it’s Charli, baby.
3. Can Lady Gaga Top Her 2017 Headlining Set?
It’s been an up and down year for Lady Gaga. Joker: Folie à Deux flopped at the box office, and “Disease,” the first single from her upcoming album, stalled at #27 on the Billboard Hot 100. Yet, even with those speed bumps, she helped kick off the 2024 Olympics and her collaboration with Bruno Mars, “Die With A Smile,” is one of the most-streamed songs of the year. Gaga previously headlined in 2017 (this was also the year she filmed scenes for A Star Is Born on the Empire Polo Club grounds), albeit as a replacement for Beyoncé. This time, she has months to prepare for “a massive night of chaos in the desert.” Gaga will find a way to one-up herself.
4. What Is Travis Scott Up To?
All the bottom of the poster, even below the smallest-font Sunday acts (shout out to Yulia Niko), it reads, “Travis Scott Designs The Desert.” What does that mean? Well, according to a press release, the “Mo City Flexologist” rapper is “headlining the main stage on Saturday night where he will debut an entirely new era of music to the world.” He will also “curate a fully immersive and experiential world within the desert.” Scott was supposed to headline in 2022, but he was dropped from the bill following the Astroworld tragedy.
5. Who Will Post Malone Bring Out As Special Guests?
This year alone, Post Malone has been on songs with Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, Morgan Wallen, Dolly Parton, Brad Paisley, Luke Combs, Lainey Wilson, Jelly Roll, and Chris Stapleton, among many others. It’s a near-certainty that he’ll be joined on Sunday by some surprise famous faces. Probably not Taylor or Beyoncé (Posty popping up during the Cowboy Carter Netflix halftime show on Christmas is more likely), but nonetheless, get ready for a star-studded set.
6. Can We Expect A Blackpink Mini-Reunion?
In a recent interview with Billboard, Lisa was asked how the members of Blackpink keep in touch during their respective solo careers. “We know each other so well and know how much energy we have to put into every single project,” The White Lotus star said. “So we want to support and say, ‘You did really well!’ Like, Jennie and Rosie just released their own songs, and we’re on texts, we’re on FaceTime. They’re like family.” Will Coachella double as a Blackpink family reunion? Lisa gets a prime spot on Friday, while Jennie is scheduled to perform on Sunday. What, no Rosé on Saturday?
7. Yo Gabba Gabba?
Yo Gabba Gabba.
8. Who Will Be This Year’s Knocked Loose?
Metalcore greats Knocked Loose went viral in 2023 for their wild Coachella set. To quote one tweet, “Influencer babes are stage diving during Knocked Loose’s Coachella set.” Billie Eilish was there, and she was vibing. So was everyone in the circle pit. But who will be this year’s Knocked Loose, the heavy band that captivates Coachella beyond their usual audience? My money’s on either Gel, who released the heavy-and-hook-filled Persona EP over the summer, or Australia’s Speed. They have Only One Mode and it’s ferocious.
9. Where’s The Country?
Since the beginning of July, the top of the Billboard Hot 100 has been dominated by three artists: Post Malone, Morgan Wallen, and Shaboozey. Some combination of that trio has had the No. 1 song in the country for every week but one, when Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” took over the world. That’s an incredible run, and Post Malone and Shaboozey are playing Coachella. But they’re the only country or country-adjacent acts on the bill. No Cody Johnson, no Kacey Musgraves. Maybe Coachella didn’t want to double-book with Stagecoach, which takes place later that month, but you would think arguably the biggest genre of 2024 would be better represented.
10. What Will Be The Most Talked-About Non-Headliner Set Of The Weekend(s)?
Somehow, Missy Elliott — one of the most electric, unique, and influential artists in hip-hop history — has never performed at Coachella. To make up for the long-overdue slight, she gets second billing on Friday night. Elliott played all the hits during her first-ever headlining tour earlier this year: “Sock It 2 Me,” “Get Ur Freak On,” “Work It,” “Gossip Folks,” “WTF (Where They From),” “Lose Control.” Expect a crowd-pleasing set from an icon.
Travis Scott had is ready to blow minds. Again. The rapper has not slowed down since the release of his 2023 album, UTOPIA, as she’s spent most of the year touring the world. On Wednesday, Scott opted to close the book on UTOPIA, and look to the future. He confirmed that he would be appearing as one of the headliners at Coachella in 2025. More importantly, though, the rapper took to Instagram to hint at brand new music during the first quarter of the year. A “new chapter” that has fans absolutely thrilled.
The IG post came on the heels of the Coachella announcement. Travis Scott left a comment under the festival sheet with a laundry list of promises. “New chapter,” the rapper wrote. “New performance, new Coachella set by La Flame and Cactus Jack. First of its kind.” Not exciting enough? Scott decided to up the ante by giving fans a tentative start date for his aforementioned “new chapter.” And it’s right around the corner. “PS,” Travis Scott added. “Y’all n**gas got til April cause I’m coming.” It’s impressive that the rapper will reportedly have new music ready in five months.
Those who have been keeping up with Travis Scott throughout 2024, however, know that he has been hard at work in between tour dates. The rapper implied that he has been recording songs at every tour stop during his Circus Maximus Tour back in January. A month later, he posted some exciting messages for fans on his Instagram Story. “I love music so f**king much,” he wrote. “And for the record. We will be backkkkkk. I gotta kick a new gear since they think it’s play time.” There was an extended period of time in which Travis Scott was quiet about new music.
All that changed, though, when he gave an interview to Cultured in September. Travis Scott told the outlet that he is absolutely back in “album mode” and is eager to share his new musical direction with the fans. “I’m gonna be back in New York,” Scott explained. “I’m back in album mode. I’ve been working on music and st every day on tour. When I’m doing the stadiums, because they’re sold out, I can see the music for what it is. I’m f**ing amped.” Now that the fans have more information, so are they.
Global superstar and cultural trailblazer Travis Scott will once again descend upon the desert for weekends 1&2 of Coachella, headlining the main stage on Saturday night where he will debut an entirely new era of music to the world.
Scott, whose CIRCUS MAXIMUS TOUR has officially sold more tickets globally than any rap tour in history, has also announced a one-of-a-kind Cactus Jack desert takeover, set to occur on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, on both weekends, where the record-breaking artist will curate a fully immersive and experiential world within the desert—more details to be revealed in the coming months.
This past weekend, Artistic Director and Sunday night headliner Travis Scott and Cactus Jack also unveiled their most groundbreaking creative vision yet: CactusCon, which debuted at ComplexCon, showcasing more than 35 exclusive collaborations with today’s leading designers, brands and creatives. An undeniable and unprecedented cultural activation that redefined collaboration and creativity. A bold and immersive celebration of style, art, fashion, and music ever seen
Coachella will return to the Empire Polo Club in Indio, CA, on April 11 – 13 and April 18 – 20, 2025. For more festival information and updates, please visit www.coachella.com.
Travis Scott’s influence in the sneaker world continues to dominate with his upcoming collaboration with Fragment on the Air Jordan 1 Low OG. An expected release date has now been set, fueling excitement among sneaker enthusiasts and collectors. Also, building on the immense success of their previous collaborations, this release features a clean white and blue color scheme with a fresh layout that reimagines their signature aesthetic. With past pairs reaching sky-high resale values, this drop is expected to generate similar demand.
Further, the design highlights the iconic reversed Swoosh, a signature of Scott’s projects, paired with Fragment’s understated yet powerful style. This collaboration balances Travis Scott’s bold creativity with Fragment’s timeless design approach, making it a standout addition to the Air Jordan 1 Low lineup. With a release date now in sight, fans are buzzing with anticipation. This pair is shaping up to be another milestone in Travis Scott’s sneaker legacy, blending style, innovation, and cultural relevance. The unique colorway and attention to detail further solidify its place as a future classic in the sneaker world.
The sneakers include a blue rubber outsole paired with a crisp sail midsole. Made from white leather, the uppers are decorated with coordinating overlays. The blue reversed Nike Swoosh mirrors the outsole, while the Jordan logo appears in white on the heels. Lastly, the inner Swoosh is crafted from white leather, and branding from Travis Scott, Nike, and Fragment is featured on the tongues.
Sneaker Bar Detroit reports that the Travis Scott x Fragment x Air Jordan 1 Low OG” will be released on September 3rd, 2025. Also, the retail price of the sneakers will likely be $150 when they drop. The combination of three iconic brands has already generated massive anticipation. This release promises to be a defining moment for sneaker culture in 2025. With its unique design and star-studded collaboration, it’s set to be one of the year’s most talked-about drops.
According to TMZ, sources with direct knowledge of the 2025 Coachella lineup have confirmed that the festival’s headliners next year will include Lady Gaga, Post Malone, and, as a sign of his ultimate redemption, Travis Scott. Green Day is also rumored to join the bill.
The closest Scott came to headlining the festival was in 2021, when he was initially booked to perform for 2022, but dropped from the bill after his disastrous closing set at his own Astroworld Festival that November, which resulted in 10 deaths, hundreds of injuries, several hundred combined lawsuits, and the upheaval of the festival industry in the years since. In 2022, Kanye West promised to bring Travis out for his own headlining set, which itself was canceled when Ye pulled the plug on negotiations over unreasonable staging demands. Scott settled instead for promoting his then-upcoming album Utopia with billboards along the freeway to Coachella.
That album’s release in August 2023 brought with it the first signs that, while legal proceedings continue, many fans have already forgiven Scott for his missteps at Astroworld, driving the album to one of the best streaming totals of the year. This August, he followed up with the re-release of his breakout mixtape, Days Before Rodeo, to DSPs, again leading hip-hop’s streaming totals for the year. Travis’ return to Coachella will be his first since 2017, when he sub-headlined before being rumored for the canceled 2020 edition.
The Nike Zoom Field Jaxx “Limelight” introduces a bold new look to Travis Scott’s growing lineup. The sneaker features a vibrant volt green suede upper, making it an instant standout. Light brown overlays on the midfoot and heel add contrast, creating a balanced design. Subtle dark brown accents on the laces and tongue provide depth, tying the colorway together. The silhouette blends rugged and modern looks, emphasizing its versatility. The Zoom cushioning in the midsole ensures a responsive and comfortable ride. A durable black rubber outsole enhances traction, making it suitable for various surfaces.
The wavy design lines and layered materials give the shoe a dynamic and textured appearance. Travis Scott’s signature Swoosh sits largely on the side, maintaining his recognizable design style. Additional details, such as the Cactus Jack logo, appear on the tongue and heel. These elements highlight the collaboration’s attention to detail. The “Limelight” colorway delivers a fresh perspective on outdoor-inspired sneakers. Its vibrant green base combined with earthy tones offers a unique look that fits both streetwear and performance settings. This Nike Zoom Field Jaxx continues the trend of innovative and eye-catching designs from Travis Scott and Nike.
The sneakers feature a brown rubber sole and a matching brown midsole. Also, the uppers are made of a volt green suede base, highlighted by prominent sail and brown overlays and a large sail strap across the laces. Further, abrown suede Nike Swoosh is placed on the sides, matching the sole and laces. Travis and Nike’s branding appears on the tongues and heels.
Sneaker Bar Detroit reports that the Travis Scott x Nike Zoom Field Jaxx “Limelight” will be released this holiday season. Also, the retail price of the sneakers will be $170 when they are released. The bold colorway and unique design are already generating significant buzz in the sneaker community. This collaboration adds another exciting chapter to Travis Scott’s innovative partnership with Nike.
