Last year, Travis Scott released his new album UTOPIA. The project was his first in 5 years dating back to his 2018 smash hit ASTROWORLD. With how much fervor there was for new music from the “SICKO MODE” rapper it’s no surprise that there was equal demand to see him perform live. Following the album’s release he took off on the Circus Maximus tour which shares its name with a song from the album and the short film that accompanied its release. Since then he’s been churning away on tour shows and racking up an incredibly impressive total gross.
With the addition of new dates in the European leg of the tour, Travis Scott could now be embarking on one of the highest-selling tours in rap history. According to TouringData, the 61 shows he’s playing on tour are now expected to sell a total of 1.1 million tickets. That’s predicted to make for a total gross somewhere in the $130-140 million range. They also report that those numbers would make for the second highest-grossing rap tours ever. Just last year Drake set the record for highest-grossing tour by a rapper with his It’s All A Blur tour which featured opening appearances from Sexyy Red, J. Cole, and 21 Savage.
