American rapper and record producer Travis Scott’s concert in Chicago was abruptly postponed, leaving fans who were already en route to the venue frustrated and expressing their disappointment, as reported by Page Six.
Fans took to social media, particularly on Travis Scott’s Instagram page, to voice their frustration. One fan wrote, “You did Chicago so dirty, bro. I was so ready for tonight. Why didn’t you give an earlier notice?” Another added, “Travis, I just drove 5 hours to the United Center. No way you postponed.”
The United Center, the arena where the Utopia – Circus Maximus tour show was scheduled to take place, released a statement via social media after 4 p.m. on Friday, informing concertgoers about the cancellation. “Travis Scott’s show at United Center scheduled for tonight has been postponed,” the statement read.
The venue assured fans that all previously purchased tickets would be honored for the new date once announced. Additional information would be shared on social media and directly emailed to ticket holders.
Page Six reached out to Travis Scott’s representatives and spokespeople at the United Center for further comment but did not receive an immediate response.
Fans speculated that the rapper might not have been able to make it to Chicago on time due to his recent performance in Saudi Arabia. Calvin Harris and Metallica were also listed as performers at the event. One disgruntled fan commented on Scott’s Instagram, “Goes to Saudi Arabia a day before his Chicago show just to reschedule. Unreal.” Another expressed, “Travis Scott picked that Saudi money over the Chicago money, and that’s that,” according to Page Six.
As disappointed fans await news of the rescheduled concert date, they hope for clearer communication and smoother logistics in the future. Travis Scott’s team is expected to provide updates to ticket holders soon, ensuring that fans will have the opportunity to experience his high-energy performances at a later date.
