Fans of American rap icon Travis Scott are in for a groundbreaking experience as the multi-platinum artist is set to perform in India for the first time. The rapper, known for his electrifying stage presence and chart-topping hits, will be bringing his globally acclaimed Circus Maximus World Tour to New Delhi’s Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium on October 18, 2025. This will mark Scott’s debut concert in India, making it one of the most anticipated live music events of the year.
The performance is part of his Asia and Africa leg of the tour, following a highly successful run in Europe and North America. The show is being organized by BookMyShow Live in collaboration with Live Nation, promising a world-class concert experience for Indian fans.
Scott recently shared his tour poster on Instagram, revealing stops in major cities such as Seoul in South Korea, Sanya in China, and Tokyo in Japan. Along with the announcement, Scott wrote, "JOBURG/ ASIA WE OTW SOON I WANNA SEE SOMETHING." The Circus Maximus World Tour has already witnessed massive crowds at sold-out stadiums across Europe, including London’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, which has a capacity of 62,000.
With his concerts known for high-energy performances, psychedelic visuals, and immersive stage designs, Scott’s India debut is expected to be a grand spectacle. According to BookMyShow, Scott’s concert in New Delhi will be a five-hour music extravaganza, starting at 5 PM. Fans can expect a high-octane performance featuring some of his biggest hits, including 'SICKO MODE' featuring Drake, 'Goosebumps' featuring Kendrick Lamar, 'Highest in the Room,' 'Antidote,' 'FE!N' featuring Playboi Carti, and 'Meltdown' featuring Drake.
Travis Scott has become one of the most influential figures in modern hip-hop. Born Jacques Bermon Webster II in 1991, his genre-blending style combines lo-fi beats, trap influences, and autotuned vocals. Scott’s career is marked by numerous milestones, including ten Grammy nominations and five No. 1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100, a rare achievement for any artist. His collaborations with big names like Drake, Kanye West, and Rihanna further cement his powerhouse status in the industry.
His latest album, Utopia, released in 2023, shattered streaming records, reinforcing his dominance in contemporary hip-hop. Beyond music, Scott has also ventured into fashion, partnering with major brands while establishing his own record label, Cactus Jack Records.

Scott’s India debut is part of a growing trend of international artists performing in the country. Recently, stars like Coldplay, Green Day, and Shawn Mendes held sold-out concerts across India. The legendary rock band Guns N’ Roses has also announced a Mumbai concert at Mahalaxmi Race Course on May 17, 2025, marking their return to India after 13 years.
Despite his musical success, Scott’s concerts have sparked controversy, notably the Astroworld Festival tragedy in 2021, where a crowd surge led to the deaths of 10 concertgoers and injuries to hundreds more. Although he faced multiple lawsuits, Scott denied direct responsibility. Since then, his team has worked closely with event organizers to ensure better safety measures.
As excitement builds for Travis Scott's concert, fans anticipate an exceptional blend of high-energy performance and stunning production that could set a new standard for live music events in India.
