Rapper Travis Scott’s Concert at Egypt’s Pyramids Cancelled

American rapper, Travis Scott’s concert at the pyramids in Egypt has been cancelled, organiser Live Nation Middle East said in a statement, citing production issues.

 

“We regret to inform you that the UTOPIA show, originally scheduled for July 28th at the Pyramids of Giza in Egypt is cancelled,” the concert promoter said in a statement on social media. “Unfortunately, despite highest efforts, complex production issues meant that the show could not be constructed in the desert. We understand that this news is disappointing and not the outcome any of us desired.”

The announcement added that refunds will be issued to ticket holders at their point of purchase; a Scott rep declined further comment.

 

Although “complex production issues” were given as the reason for the cancellation, other reports claim that the permit was cancelled by the Egyptian Musicians Syndicate, which issues the permits, since the concert “goes against the cultural identity of the Egyptian people.”

 

In a statement, the Syndicate said that it made the decision after “examining social media opinions and feedback,” along with reports that included “authenticated images and information about peculiar rituals performed by [Scott] during his performance” that go against “our authentic societal values and traditions.” It was unclear which “peculiar rituals” caused offense.
