Cactus Jack/Epic superstar Travis Scott made music history with the L.A. stop of his UTOPIA: Circus Maximus Tour. On 11/5 he became the first rapper to headline and sell out Sofi Stadium. 70k were in attendance to witness the biggest headlining show of Scott's career.
The Live Nation-produced trek is also generating huge merch figures, with the Sofi UTOPIA: Circus Maximus date averaging $85 per attendee—a higher average than Taylor Swift and BTS at the venue. Scott's tour will rank among the year's highest-grossing arena tours, on pace for 100m with only 39 dates.
UTOPIA is the biggest rap album released in 2023, with 1.5m+ in activity to date. It spent four weeks at #1 at the end of the summer, opening with nearly 500k units in the first week of August.
Manager David Stromberg celebrated the Sofi sellout with a Cactus Jack Meal from McDonald's.
