Travis Scott's Delhi concert draws mixed reactions, leaves fans divided
What's the story
American rapper Travis Scott made his much-anticipated debut in India on Saturday at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Delhi. However, the concert, titled CIRCUS MAXIMUS, has received mixed reactions from fans. Despite being a sold-out event, several videos from the concert showed empty seats. Fans took to social media to express their disappointment with the performance and crowd engagement.
Discontent
'Dead crowd, half-empty arena'
The concert was reportedly marred by long delays and an over four-hour wait, leading to frustration among attendees. One fan shared a video of the half-empty arena, saying, "Trust me he's not coming back ever again dead crowd." Another questioned the timing of the concert and said, "Diwali ke pehle Travis Scott ko aane kisne bola tha bhai."
Criticism
'90% of the crowd are uni kids'
Another fan wrote, "People just know 2-3 songs....90% of the crowd is uni kids trying to fit in pop culture." Another said, "Expected a lot more but got bored." The concert was heavily monitored with over 3,400 personnel, including 1,600 private security staff and around 1,800 Delhi Police officers deployed for safety and logistics.
