Friday, causing fans who had already left for the show to become enraged online over the experience.
On the rapper’s Instagram, someone commented, “You did Chicago so dirty bro, I was so ready for tonight man, why didn’t you give an earlier notice?”
“Travis [I] just drove 5 hours to United Center, no way u j postponed,” said another.
The Utopia – Circus Maximus tour show was supposed to take place at United Center. On Friday, after 4 p.m., the venue announced on social media that it was being canceled.
The announcement said, “Travis Scott’s show at United Center scheduled for tonight has been postponed,” and it was shared on Instagram and X, the original name of Twitter.
“Once the new date is announced, all tickets that have already been purchased will be honored. As further details become available, they will be sent to ticket holders directly via email and posted here.
When Scott, 32, posted on X on December 16, he appeared to be hinting that he was stuck on an aircraft. He wrote, “I literally spent 24 hrs on a f–king runway.” The most insane thing ever.I was so excited to go nuts that I told my people in Chicago.
Chicago has always been a favorite destination of mine. I’ve been longing for Togo ham the entire tour.I’ll be returning during the first few days of January.
The “Antidote” rapper also commented via X, “IM SOOOOOO F–KKKKINGGGGG HOTTTTTTTTTTT,” right after the postponement. This would make sense if he was actually stuck on a runway, as airlines don’t often turn on the air conditioning until they are in the air.
Fans surmised on Friday night that the rapper known as “Sicko Mode” might not have made it to Chicago in time because he had recently finished a global tour in Saudi Arabia.
Scott performed hits including “Fe!n” and “Goosebumps” to kick off the Soundstorm festival in Riyadh on Thursday, according to an Arabic news source.
Metallica and Calvin Harris were also mentioned as performers at the international event.
One unhappy fan wrote on Scott’s Instagram, “Goes to Saudi Arabia a day before his Chicago show just to reschedule. Unreal.”
Another wrote via X, “Travis Scott picked dat Saudi money over the Chicago money and that’s that.”
