Travis $cott embarked on his North American Circus Maximus tour last year and is headed to Europe soon for its second leg. The run is reportedly on pace to be one of the most successful treks of all time in the rap world.
Half-way through, the Houston rapper is already on track to have the second-highest grossing rap tour ever. He would then be in the league of Drake’s “Aubrey & The Three Migos” and “It’s All A Blur” tours, Kendrick Lamar’s “The Big Steppers” tour, and 50 Cent’s “Final Lap” tour.
According to Touring Data, the 61-date tour is expected to gross up to $140,000,000 with a total of 1.1 million tickets sold. The “Rodeo” rapper is scheduled to hit the major European cities like London, Prague, Milan, and others.
The Circus Maximus tour is $cott’s first show run following Astroworld, where many attendees died and were injured, resulting in major lawsuits.
The tragic festival took place on Nov. 5, 2021, at NRG Park in Houston, where a crowd surge killed eight people on site, and two more who later died in the hospital. According to Variety, “More than 4,000 attendees filed hundreds of lawsuits following the event, with 2,400 injury cases to come.”
$cott and his defendants recently settled nine out of the 10 wrongful death lawsuits, but he still faces one pending suit regarding the death of the youngest victim, Ezra Blount.
ABC 7 reported that the terms of the settlements were “confidential and attorneys declined to comment after the court hearing because of a gag order in the case.”
Following the tragic Astroworld Fest, $cott’s team claimed his innocence and the 34-year-old issued the following statement on X:
“I am absolutely devastated by what took place last night. My prayers go out to the families and all those impacted by what happened at Astroworld Festival. Houston PD has my total support as they continue to look into the tragic loss of life. I am committed to working together with the Houston community to heal and support the families in need, Thank you to Houston PD, Fire department and NRG Park fo their immediate response and support. Love You All.”
