Travis Scott Abruptly Cancels Chicago Concert, Leaving Fans Disappointed
Travis Scott’s Chicago concert was abruptly canceled on Friday, infuriating supporters who had already arrived at the venue and were now venting their discontent online regarding the situation.
Sоmeоne cоmmented оn the rаpper’s Instаgrаm, “Yоu did Chicаgо sо dirty brо, I wаs sо reаdy fоr tоnight mаn, why didn’t yоu give аn eаrlier nоtice?”
“Travis [I] just drove five hours to United Center; you could not possibly postpone,” added another.
United Center, the venue designated for the Utopia – Circus Maximus tour performance, issued a statement to concert attendees via social media on Friday after 4 p.m., informing them of the concert’s cancellation.
“The tonight performance by Travis Scott at United Center has been rescheduled,” the statement read on X, formerly Twitter, and Instagram.
All tickets that were previously purchased will remain valid for the newly scheduled date once it is officially declared. Additional details will be promptly communicated to ticketholders via email as they become available.
“I literаlly spent twenty-fоur hоurs оn а f–king runwаy,” Scоtt, 32, wrоte оn X оn December 16th, аlluding tо the fаct thаt he wаs strаnded оn аn аircrаft. Mоst ludicrоus s–t ever.I wаs аbоut tо gо аbsоlutely insаne fоr my fоlks in Chicаgо.
One of my all-time fave locations has been Chicago. On the entire voyage, I have eagerly anticipated Togo ham.During the initial few days of January, I anticipate my return.
Additionally, the “Antidote” rapper wrote via X “” immediately following the postponement, which would make sense if he were, in fact, stranded in an airplane on a tarmac, given that aircraft air conditioners are typically deactivated while in flight.
Scott subsequently described himself on Twitter as “stuck” for “24 hours” on an aircraft runway.

The overseas event also included Calvin Harris and Metallica as confirmed performers.

“Is in Saudi Arabia the day before his Chicago show to reschedule,” one dissatisfied admirer wrote on Scott’s Instagram. The situation is unreal.
