A few days after his Italian concert was canceled, Travis Scott announced he plans to perform a full concert in Turkey. Last weekend, the "Sicko Mode" singer appeared at an Istanbul club, leaving fans eager to see more.
Travis Scott told Turkish fans about his upcoming concert.
According to Complex, fans were dissatisfied with both the length of Travis Scott's set at the club and the exorbitant ticket prices. Taylan Özkan, CEO of TemaCC, whom Turkish media has identified as the event's organizer, defended Scott. As reported by AFP, Özkan told Turkish media that the rapper was "the center of attention" throughout the evening. "He led the party for an hour... and then gave an exceptional performance for 20 minutes," the executive said.
The 35-year-old singer addressed the criticism on his Instagram Stories on June 1, announcing his plans to return to Turkey for a full concert. He wrote, "To all the party people in Turkey, I only came to throw a party for a friend's big day. I can't wait to get back and perform for real, especially after seeing how amazing the show was. Looking forward to seeing the party people in Turkey soon." He concluded, "Sincerely, Flame.".
Scott's performance at the RCF Arena in Reggio Emilia was scheduled for July 17 as part of the Hellwat festival. However, in a statement, the Prefect of the Province of Reggio Emilia, Salvatore Angieri, announced the cancellation of the concert, as well as Ye's. The decision was made following a meeting of Italian officials to "ensure public order and security.".
In 2021, Scott headlined the Astroworld festival in Houston, where a crowd crush tragically killed ten people. The incident sparked widespread public outcry and placed the rapper at the center of a major public safety controversy.
