Travis Scott kicked off the "Circus Maximus Tour" in North America back in 2023 and only just concluded in India, last week.

Travis Scott has reportedly broken the record for the highest-grossing solo rap tour of all time after concluding his Circus Maximus Tour, last week. According to Billboard, the concerts brought in $265.1 million with 2.1 million tickets sold. The world tour began in North America in October 2023 and finally wrapped up in Mumbai, India, on November 19. The shows spanned 20 countries across six different continents.

Over that time, Scott brought out a number of high-profile guests. They included Kanye West, Teezo Touchdown, Yung Lean, Don Toliver, Sheck Wes, Babyface Ray, Skilla Baby, Veeze, and Nav. The setlist included songs from throughout Scott's career, such as hits like "Sicko Mode," "No Bystanders," "Fein," "Mamacita," "Goosebumps," "Maria I'm Drunk," and more.

The Circus Maximus Tour also marked Scott's first concert tour in several years, following the fatal crowd rush at his Astroworld Festival in 2021. At least ten attendees died as a result of the tragic incident.
