There are also a few more Travis Scott shows scheduled this year, including Dec. 18 at Talking Stick Resort Arena in Phoenix and three nights at Forum in Inglewood, Calif., after that. He is also scheduled to headline Hangout Music Festival in Gulf Shores, Ala., in May; Firefly Music Festival in Dover, Del., in June; and Lollapalooza Stockholm in Sweden in June.
Travis had a huge 2018 with big sales numbers for his album Astroworld and great ticket sales for the tour. The “Astroworld: Wish You Were Here” tour hit State Farm Arena in Atlanta Nov. 13 and grossed $884,444 and sold 12,166 tickets. This year was also the inaugural edition of his very own festival, Astroworld, which was Nov. 17 at NRG Park in Houston.
In terms of news, Travis Scott was called to replace Childish Gambino at Austin City Limits Music Festival this year after the latter was injured; countersued promoters who claim he bailed on a performance the night before the Super Bowl; and got his charges for inciting a riot at a concert dropped. He also lost Trippie Redd as an opener for the current tour because the setup times for the complex production frequently cut into the opener’s set, according to Complex.
