After rumors and speculation over the past week, Travis Scott took to social media on Sunday (July 9) to announce a special event in support of his long-awaited album, UTOPIA. Said occasion will take place at the Egyptian pyramids in Giza, a location that previously served as a stage for the likes of Grateful Dead, Frank Sinatra, Pink Floyd, Sting, and The Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Unfortunately, tickets have already been sold out for the celebration, which is set to take place on July 28 — a day that many are guessing will mark the arrival of the aforementioned LP. The good news is that all interested will still be able to view said event via livestream.
UTOPIA was first announced back in 2020 and has been teased via artwork, jewelry, merch, and even open letters ever since. A mysterious briefcase embossed with the title has also been making its rounds across the globe, appearing in snaps by SZA, The Weeknd, and more.
As previously reported by REVOLT, Scott opened up about the meaning behind UTOPIA in a feature with CR Men. “Water is the most consumed thing. What if the bottle was at an inspirational level to all people?” he asked. “Medicine, nursing, being a better person, talking, language, communication, you know, a utopian state. You think utopia is a society where everything is good — health, buildings, architecture. Nah. It’s just about proper lines of communication. Because that’s the dystopian s**t we’re in right now. It’s all hate, hate, hate, and all of that is drawn from what? Miscommunication, non-communication, non-understandable communication, ignorance to communication.”
Upon its eventual arrival, UTOPIA will follow 2018’s ASTROWORLD, a 17-song offering with additional features from Drake, Frank Ocean, Swae Lee, 21 Savage, Gunna, the late Juice WRLD, and more. The project both debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and crossed the quadruple platinum mark.
