After performing and DJing at two private events earlier this year, Travis Scott is slated to perform publicly for the first time since the tragic Astroworld 2021 music festival that left 10 dead and countless injured. Scott is headlining three Primavera Sound festivals in South America: He’ll perform in São Paulo, Brazil on November 6; Buenos Aires, Argentina on November 12; and Santiago, Chile on November 13.
Scott is also billed to appear at Miami’s E11even nightclub on May 7, as TMZ points out. A source close to the situation tells Pitchfork that Scott will host but will not be performing at the event.
In late March, Scott performed a brief set at a private pre-Oscars house party in Bel Air, California, as TMZ initially reported. Videos of Scott performing “Sicko Mode” at the event circulated online the following morning. The rapper also appeared at a Coachella afterparty, where he played five of his own songs during a brief DJ set in a La Quinta Venue.
Last week, Scott joined Future and 808 Mafia producer Southside on the new song “Hold That Heat.” The track marked Scott’s first widely available single since Astroworld 2021.
