Travis Scott will return to festival stages for the first time since last November’s Astroworld tragedy, which left 10 dead and hundreds injured. His upcoming shows will take place in South America.
Scott is set to headline three Primavera Sound events. As reported byVariety, the first performance will take place in São Paulo, Brazil on Nov. 6, followed by two gigs in Buenos Aires, Argentina and Santiago, Chile on Nov. 12 and Nov. 13. The slotted performances come as Scott also gears up to perform and host an event at Miami’s E11EVEN nightclub on May 7 in celebration of the Formula One Grand Prix that will take place that week.
The Primavera Sound events will also feature performances from Lorde, Björk, Arctic Monkeys, Jack White, Phoebe Bridgers, and others.
While the “Sicko Mode” rapper has maintained a relatively low profile recently, he has grabbed the mic on a few low-key occasions in the five months since the Nov. 5 tragedy. He performed briefly at a pre-Oscars party as well as a Coachella afterparty. He was removed from the official Coachella lineup as a result of the Astroworld incident.
Scott remains embroiled in lawsuits as a result of the festival, even as he’s sought to make amends. The artist offered to pay for funeral costs for the victims, and in March announced a $5 million community-based initiative called Project HEAL that aims to provide better mental health resources for young people as well as scholarship opportunities for students at HBCU’s.
Sources told Variety that Travis will perform at other “major” festivals this summer as well, but would not elaborate further.
