Egyptian authorities cancel Travis Scott's Utopia album event

July 25, 2023

Travis Scott's Utopia album event in Egypt, which was scheduled to take place at The Great Pyramid of Giza, has been canceled as the Egyptian authorities were not willing to collaborate leading up to the event. Team Cactus Jack is working to find another venue for the album event, as Utopia drops on Friday.

The Egyptian Syndicate of Musical Professions released a statement explaining the reason for the concert cancellation.
"The syndicate has welcomed all kinds of cultural events over the past few months, but all have fallen in line with set conditions to ensure that the customs and traditions of the Egyptian society are not violated, the statement reads.
"Based on research and documented information about strange rituals at Travis' concerts that are 'inconsistent' with our authentic societal values and traditions," the announcement added.
The reports emerged that the Texas rap star's Travis Scott Astroworld Festival in 2021 boasted Satanism symbols, including inverted crosses, circles, and the all-seeing eye, "reinforce the representation of symbols and shapes at this concert," a research report in Daengku: Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences Innovation noted.
