What’s happening with Travis Scott and his pyramid show?

Travis Scott’s ‘Utopia’ album launch party in Egypt was cancelled, then it wasn’t. Now it is again. Given his recent concert controversies, should he even be attempting such a performance in a country that heavily censors artists and is anti-LGBTQ?

After many unclear updates, it is now confirmed that Travis Scott’s ‘Utopia’ launch party in Egypt will not be happening.

Several conflicting statements over the last few weeks have confused fans and concertgoers. Live Nation, the organisers behind the show, had repeatedly assured the public that it would be going ahead this week. Other reports claimed that the Egyptian Musicians Syndicate had shut the gig down, which Live Nation Middle East originally denied two weeks ago.

On Wednesday, Live Nation finally tweeted to verify the performance was cancelled.
