American rapper Travis Scott is set to make his debut in India this October as part of his highly anticipated Circus Maximus World Tour. Scheduled for October 18, 2025, Scott will perform at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Delhi, marking a significant milestone for both the artist and Indian music fans.
On March 25, 2025, Scott took to Instagram to announce his extraordinary tour across Asia, which will also include stops in Africa, South Korea, China, and Japan. He shared a vibrant poster, captioning it, "Asia we OTW soon I wanna see something".
A source close to the developments revealed, "Travis would be performing for over 50,000 music lovers in Delhi. His set would include some of his chart-topping hits, including Sicko Mode, Goosebumps, Highest In The Room, and Fein, among others." This exciting news comes on the heels of several successful concerts by international artists in India, including recent performances by Maroon 5, Coldplay, Alan Walker, Green Day, and Shawn Mendes.
Travis Scott, known for his unique sound that blends psychedelic beats with immersive stage productions, has been credited with redefining modern hip-hop. His return to the stage, particularly in a large market like India, reflects the growing acceptance and appetite for global music acts by Indian audiences.
Soon after Scott's announcement, another prominent act, Guns N' Roses, confirmed their performance at Mumbai's Mahalaxmi Race Course on May 17, 2025. This concert will mark their return to India after 12 years, where they’re expected to delight fans with classics such as Sweet Child o' Mine, November Rain, and Welcome to the Jungle.
Addressing their return, the band stated, "We’re coming to India. This is going to be special. May 17, Mumbai." These upcoming events highlight a flourishing interest among international artists in India, reflecting the country’s vibrant and diverse music scene.
Travis's show in Delhi is projected to last more than five hours, with performances starting at 5 PM. Pre-sale tickets for his concert will be available beginning in April 2025, although a specific date has not yet been disclosed by the organizing team at BookMyShow Live.
Travis Scott's rise to fame escalated in 2016 and has since included collaborations with big names like Drake and Young Thug. Despite his controversial incident at the Astroworld Festival in 2021—where ten people lost their lives due to a crowd surge—he has maintained a strong following and continues to push the boundaries of live hip-hop performances.
As India gears up for an increased influx of international talent, concerts by artists like Scott and Guns N' Roses signify a new era of live music events in the country. With major acts eager to engage with fans in India, audiences can anticipate an exciting and diverse lineup of performances throughout 2025.
The Circus Maximus World Tour aims to showcase not just the musical prowess of Travis Scott but also to celebrate the cultural intersections that music can create globally. As fans await the specific details regarding ticket sales and additional announcements, one thing is certain: 2025 is set to be an exhilarating year for live music in India.
