Travis Scott’s concert at the Giza Pyramids was officially canceled two days before it was set to be held due to “complex production issues”
The rapper previously announced he would reveal his new ‘Utopia’ album from the Egyptian Pyramids, including a livestream of the event. “We regret to inform you that the UTOPIA show, originally scheduled for July 28th at the Pyramids of Giza in Egypt is cancelled,” Live Nation said in a statement on Twitter. “Unfortunately, despite highest efforts, complex production issues meant that the show could not be constructed in the desert.
Egypt’s musicians syndicate last week revoked its permit citing “strange rituals” performed by Scott during his shows and some Egyptian social media users called for the cancellation of the concert under a hashtag in Arabic “#Ban_Travis_Scott_Concert”. Despite the cancellation, Scott seemed optimistic that a Pyramids concert will happen at a later stage and announced that the album is still set to be released Thursday at midnight.
