UTOPIA

Travis Scott previewed Utopia for Houston Astros players in May. “It’s on the way now,” Scott told Fox 26’s Mark Berman at the time. Roughly two months on, Scott announced he’s on the way to the Pyramids Of Giza in Egypt.

“UTOPIA LIVE AT THE PYRAMIDS TICKETS AND UTOPIA PACK On TRAVISSCOTT.COM,” the Houston rapper posted to his Instagram. A separate Instagram post teases, “Utopia is wherever you are.” Similarly, he tweeted, “UTOPIA LIVE AT THE PYRAMIDS CANT WAITTTT TO SEE YA.”

The “once in a lifetime gig,” as it’s described on Scott’s official website, is scheduled for July 28. Tickets were made available here, but both the Premium and VIP Golden Circle options are sold out.

Scott has yet to confirm a release date for his highly anticipated Utopia album, his first since 2018’s Astroworld, but it’s available for pre-order here. The online shop boasts five different “Topia Pack” bundles ranging from $50 to $150.”

Over the weekend, Scott headlined Wireless Festival 2023 at London’s Finsbury Park on Saturday, July 8, before headlining Rolling Loud Germany in Munich on Sunday, July 9. Per setlist.fm, Scott opened both sets with his recent collaboration with Lil Uzi Vert, “Aye,” from Lil Uzi Vert’s new album, Pink Tape.

Scott is scheduled to headline Rolling Loud Miami on Saturday, July 22.

Lil Uzi Vert is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Travis Scott’s next album, Utopia, seems like it’s on the way. Just yesterday, billboards popped up in Los Angeles that not only seemed tied to the rapper but also teased a July 21st release date. (Whether that’s for the full project or just a first single is TBD.)

Here are some other possible hints about Scott’s Utopia album.

Fans had first suspected that Scott revealed the name of the album all the way back in 2020, when he ended a note in a social media post with the phrase, “See you in Utopia.” (The emphasis on the capital U led to this speculation.)

However, after the Astroworld Festival tragedy in 2021, Scott was pretty quiet about any new updates until recently. Last year, he hinted at Utopia again during a Nike ad campaign.

For 2023, he’s been more active in teasing it now. In mid-May, he played a special showcase where he teased a collaboration with Bad Bunny — according to a fan on social media who shared part of the song playing. It’s unclear still if this will make the album yet or not.

Around that same time, Scott gave the Houston Astros the first apparent public preview of Utopia in full, during his appearance at their stadium.

“I had to come down and play Utopia for the boys in the locker room,” he told reporter Mark Berman. “I had to get them right for the game. Finished and mastered, Mark. You know how we do, Mark. from the clubhouse to the stu.”

Here’s hoping fans can get more details on the project next month.

Following years of building up anticipation, Travis Scott’s forthcoming album, Utopia, finally received an official release date. Thanks to a few high-flying advertisements displayed throughout Los Angeles, California, we now know to expect either the project or a single from the project to hit streaming platforms on July 21. Incidentally, that’s the day before his Rolling Loud Miami performance.

Both billboards point out the same string of numbers. The first display, which features stone figures, takes the shape of an analog clock point at the seven o’clock hour and just after the 20-minute mark, with the line, “Is it in the Chateau?”

The second graphic is much more straightforward, as a lock shows the numeric sequence, each number is locked in, but the space indicating the month is stuck between 7 and 8. So, fans believe it’s the rapper’s way of saying something big will happen in July and August. To theorize briefly, the album could drop in July, with a tour announcement dropping the following month — or a single release in July with the entire project to follow.

During an interview with PinUp Magazine, the entertainer spoke about the meaning behind the project’s title. “Utopia is something that people feel is so far-fetched and out of reach, some perfect state of mind. But you create it yourself. There are people who achieve utopia every day. They may not be the richest people with the dopest cribs, but it’s a utopia wherever they are, and that’s the most you can have,” said Scott.

He added, “With every album, I live in these worlds in my mind — I’m trying to show people experiences where utopian things can exist, and you can enjoy yourself and have a good time. They can create energy that spews out magical things — new cures, new buildings, new avenues for people to move forward. People need to see that utopia is real.”
