Trending Now: Travis Scott hails Johannesburg show as one of the best on his ‘Circus Maximus’ tour – Fans React

Johannesburg went absolutely wild last October when Travis Scott touched down for his “Circus Maximus” tour.

The FNB Stadium was packed with over 70,000 fans ready to ride the wave of energy that Scott is famous for. From the moment he stepped onto the stage, it was clear that this night would be talked about for years.

In a recent interview with “Rolling Stone”, Scott reflected on his global “Circus Maximus” tour, calling the Johannesburg show “unreal” and “unforgettable.”

The tour, which has taken him across North America, Europe, Asia and beyond, has been a mix of high-octane performances, mind-blowing visuals and moments that connect fans directly to the music.

But he made it clear that the South African leg stood out.

The night didn’t start smoothly. Rain threatened to dampen spirits, and there was an hour-long delay before Scott hit the stage. But if anyone thought that would kill the vibe, they were dead wrong.

Fans stayed put, cheering, chanting and moving like one massive organism, fully committed despite the wet weather. When Scott finally appeared, the stadium erupted.

Social media quickly lit up with reactions from fans, with many describing the energy as feeling like an earthquake.

Once on stage, Scott wasted no time. He opened with a high-energy set supported by pyrotechnics and eye-catching visuals that had the crowd glued to every moment.

Hits like “HYAENA”, “SICKO MODE” and “FE!N” dominated the setlist. In fact, the audience loved “FE!N” so much that Scott performed it six times in response to their chants.

While some debated whether repeating the track was overkill, fans didn’t seem to mind; the excitement never dropped.

Scott himself seemed genuinely touched by the South African welcome. He posted on social media during and after the show, saying things like, “Nahhhhhh y’all set TONE,” reflecting just how much he appreciated the crowd’s energy.

Reports from the night described him as overwhelmed and emotional, clearly feeling the connection with Johannesburg in a way that few stops on the tour could match.

The FNB Stadium, Africa’s largest live entertainment venue, was at full capacity, and the massive turnout cemented this event as a record-breaking moment for both Scott and South Africa.

Not only was it the largest solo rap concert ever held in the country, but it also showcased how the global “Circus Maximus” tour continues to dominate international stages.

If you were there, you know it: the energy, the noise, the sheer vibe – Johannesburg showed the Astroworld star exactly what Mzansi brings to the party.
