Egyptian Group Condemns Travis Scott’s Concert At Great Pyramid Due To ‘Satanic Rituals’ – But Show Still Will Go On

Almost a year and a half after the Astroworld tragedy, Travis Scott has once again found himself with issues regarding his creative decisions.

Last week, the rapper announced in an Instagram post that he would be streaming a performance of music from his new album, Utopia, from the Pyramid of Giza on July 28.

“Utopia is wherever you are,” Scott wrote in the post.

Tickets were selling for 6,500 EGP, roughly $210, and were reportedly sold out.

The Egyptian Syndicate of Musical Professions, however, has reportedly issued a statement, canceling Scott’s show because of his “satanic” beliefs, in addition to “ensure[ing] the safety and protection of the audience.”

“Since the General Syndicate is part of the fabric of this beloved country it is keen on its stability and refuses to tamper with societal values and Egyptian and Arab customs,” the Syndicated stated. “Based on research and documented information about strange rituals at Travis’s concerts that are inconsistent with our authentic societal values and traditions, the Board of Directions has decided to cancel the license issued to hold this type of concert that contradicts the cultural identity of the Egyptian people.”

The reports of the cancellation have circulated online on multiple media outlets. Many have cited the 2021 Astroworld tragedy, which killed ten people and injured many more, as a significant example of safety concerns at Scott’s events.

Still, Live Nation, which is helping organize Scott’s event, has refuted the cancellation rumors.

“There have been no changes to Travis Scott’s show in Egypt,” they said in a statement. “Any reports to the contrary are false.”

“We can’t wait to celebrate ‘Utopia’ with you in Egypt!” Live Nation added.
