Travis Scott’s Rolling Loud Set Ends Abruptly During “Sicko Mode” Due To Curfew

by

Unfortunately for hip-hop lovers, another Rolling Loud festival is gearing up for its final roster of performances for the season this evening (March 5). The past two days have been jam-packed with plenty of noteworthy moments. Among them was Playboi Carti debuting new music during his headlining set, as well as Nicki Minaj and Lil Wayne reuniting on old favourites like “Truffle Butter” and “High School.” Those who didn’t attend the Louisana native’s set on Saturday (March 4) could likely be found elsewhere on the grounds, watching Travis Scott bring his signature rage to the stage.

As Variety notes, the father of two only got about 30 minutes of performance time. Afterward, his sound was abruptly cut off during “Sicko Mode.” This happened around 11 PM, which Rolling Loud had previously widely publicized as the mandatory end time for all headliners. Even as his music was shut off, Scott still sang for the crowd as a goodbye message was shown on the screen.

La Flame’s Set Cut Short

“Thank you very much, I love y’all. I wish I could do more but they’re making me go,” the Houston native told the audience. In response, they didn’t hesitate to let out loud boos, making their displeasure with the short concert well-known. Rolling Loud marked Scott’s return to the festival stage for the first time since 2021’s deadly Astroworld tragedy. Many were disappointed that it lacked the rapper’s usual strength and stamina.

According to TMZ, La Flame was possibly late for his set’s start time, which would explain the lacklustre half an hour-long performance. Elsewhere, some are speculating that RL maintained strict rules to avoid having another disaster unfold during Scott’s time on stage. Still, it seems those who did attend stayed safe while enjoying tracks like “Antidote,” “MAFIA,” and “Praise God.”

At this time, many fans are waiting for an update on the Rodeo hitmaker, as past reports claimed he would be turning himself in to the NYPD following his festival appearance. He’s facing accusations of assault and a potential lawsuit from another disgruntled person after seemingly throwing their phone.
