Travis Scott Swears Off Hamburg Forever After “Best Show Ever” Concert
Travis Scott electrified fans at Barclays Arena in Hamburg, Germany, on July 16, declaring it his “best show ever” and praising the “amazing” audience. However, despite the concert’s success, Scott vowed never to return to Hamburg due to a bizarre airport experience, calling the workers “weird.”
While the exact details of the airport incident remain unclear, reports suggest Scott’s concert was scheduled to start at 8 PM, but he only landed in Hamburg at 8:46 PM. After the show, Scott attempted to fly back to London but found the airport closed. London, a two-hour flight from Prague, the next stop on his Circus Maximus tour, seemed unreachable. Frustrations peaked as Scott’s team allegedly tried to use his superstar status to secure a flight, resulting in Scott angrily driving away and declaring he wouldn’t return to Hamburg. An Instagram user claims to have a video of the altercation but has yet to release it.
Scott’s Hamburg woes join a growing list of American rappers facing challenges in Europe. Recently, Wiz Khalifa was arrested in Romania for cannabis possession, and Nicki Minaj faced a similar fate in the Netherlands during her Pink Friday 2 tour. In 2019, A$AP Rocky was convicted of assault in Sweden. Compared to these incidents, Scott’s dispute was relatively minor.
Despite these hiccups, Travis Scott’s year has been highly successful. The U.S. leg of his Circus Maximus Tour included 39 shows, featuring a monumental performance at SoFi Stadium, his largest crowd ever. The European leg concludes on August 4 with consecutive shows at MEO Arena in Lisbon, Portugal. The tour’s grand finale is set for September 13 at the Rock in Rio festival in Rio de Janeiro. Fans and Scott alike are hoping for smooth sailing for the rest of the tour.
