Travis Scott has set a new benchmark in live hip-hop touring: his Circus Maximus Tour is now officially the highest-grossing solo rap tour of all time. Running from October 2023 through November 2025, the global trek grossed an impressive $265.1 million from 2.1 million tickets sold across more than 80 shows. The run marked Scott’s first tour in nearly five years and instantly became a major commercial and cultural rebound for the rapper.

The Circus Maximus Tour supported Scott’s chart-topping 2023 album Utopia. The LP was a massive success, debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with nearly 500,000 units. Fueled by the popularity of hits like “Fein” and “K-Pop,” the album reached No. 1 in 20 countries. The tour’s production, inspired by the album’s cinematic concept, featured large-scale staging and a rotating lineup of opening acts, including Teezo Touchdown, Yung Lean, Don Toliver, Sheck Wes, and Babyface Ray. The tour opened in Charlotte, North Carolina, and concluded in Mumbai, India, on November 19.
Scott’s achievement arrives during a historic period for rap touring. Just weeks earlier, Kendrick Lamar and SZA completed their Grand National Tour, which earned $332 million over 39 shows, making it the highest-grossing rap tour of all time.
