Pop Culture & Art July 25, 2024

Milan was shaken to its core Tuesday night, and it wasn't an earthquake. Travis Scott brought the house down—almost literally—as his Circus Maximus Tour hit the Ippodromo Snai La Maura.

The 33-year-old rap sensation transformed the serene Milanese night into an electrifying spectacle. 

The crowd? A whopping 80,000 strong, all packed into the racecourse to witness the magic of his latest album, "Utopia." 

Even those who weren't at the concert felt the vibes, with local residents taking to X (formerly Twitter) to express their shock at the ground shaking beneath them. 

Billboard reports that the seismic activity could be felt miles away, a testament to the sheer energy of the event.

Travis himself couldn't contain his excitement, sharing breathtaking footage on Instagram. 

The massive crowd, the wild mosh pits—it was a scene straight out of a movie. 

He captioned the post,  "Last night was a dream," he wrote. "This isn't a festival. This is a show on the tour," giving a shoutout to Stromberg and expressing his love for Milan.

Flashback to last August in Rome: Scott's fans rocked the Circus Maximus so hard, it registered like a 1.3-magnitude earthquake. 

But not everyone was thrilled. Alfonsina Russo from the Colosseum Archeological Park voiced concerns to AGI news, reminding everyone that historic sites aren't designed for such high-energy events.

Travis's European adventure is far from over. His next stop will be in Germany, Spain, and Portugal, before he takes his explosive performances to Latin America, hitting Chile, Argentina, Brazil, and Colombia. 

The grand finale? A massive show at Mexico City's Estadio Azteca on September 21.

For American fans, mark your calendars. 

Travis will be performing at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on October 9 for a one-night-only performance before heading to Australia and New Zealand to wrap up the tour in style.
