Travis Scott is bringing his Circus Maximus World Tour to Abu Dhabi
American rapper Travis Scott is heading to Abu Dhabi. The artist, known to his fans as La Flame, is bringing his record-shattering Circus Maximus World Tour to the capital on Friday, 15 November 2025.
Launched in October 2023, the record-breaking Circus Maximus World Tour has stormed through 76 sold-out shows across North America, Europe, Latin America, Australia, and New Zealand. The global spectacle is the highest-grossing rap tour in history, pulling in a staggering $209.3 million and selling 1.7 million tickets, cementing the rapper's place at the top of the hip-hop hierarchy.
The Abu Dhabi date lands hot on the heels of JackBoys 2, the artist's latest collaborative project, which dropped on 13 July. But it's far from his only milestone. Travis Scott is a global phenomenon who has amassed billions of global streams and multiple gold, platinum, and multi-platinum certifications. Sicko Mode, his diamond-selling collaboration with Drake, made history as the first hip-hop track to spend 30 weeks in the Top 10 of the Hot 100 chart, earning a GRAMMY award nomination in the process.
The Houston-born artist has established himself as a music pioneer, cultural icon and fashionista known for his outrageous style, frequent collaborations and the sonic longevity of his tracks.
In 2019, he performed with Maroon 5 at the Super Bowl LIII halftime show and released a Netflix documentary, Travis Scott: Look Mom I Can Fly. In 2022, he joined forces with Drake and 21 Savage on their blockbuster album Her Loss.
The Circus Maximus World Tour supports Scott's fourth album, Utopia, which emerged as the top-selling hip-hop release of 2023, maintaining the No.1 position on the Billboard Top 200 for four consecutive weeks, amassing over 50 billion streams worldwide. Moreover, Spotify declared the album as the most-streamed album in its debut week of 2023, while Apple Music reported record-breaking first-day streams for the project.
The Circus Maximus 2025 tour dates include Johannesburg, South Africa on 11 October, Delhi, India on 18 October, Seoul, South Korea on 25 October, Tokyo, Japan on 8 November and Mumbai, India on 19 November.
If you're after cool concerts, big stars are coming to the UAE. Other concerts include Jennifer Lopez at Etihad Arena on 29 July, and Lil Baby at Coca-Cola Arena on 18 October.

Mo Amer to perform two back-to-back shows at Dubai Comedy Festival 2025
Mo Amer is the latest headliner announced for 2025's Dubai Comedy Festival. The Palestinian-American comedian and star of the hit Netflix series Mo will perform two shows at Dubai Opera on October 9. He joins a number of artists, including Tom Segura and Omid Djalili, slated to perform as part of the festival at various venues. The Dubai Opera performances mark Amer's return to the festival for the first time since its inaugural event in 2020. Since then, a star has risen through Mo, the semi-autobiographical Netflix series about a Palestinian refugee navigating life in the US, in addition to well-received roles in the sitcom Ramy, alongside Egyptian-American comedian and creator Ramy Youssef, and in Black Adam, opposite Dwayne Johnson. Amer's return also comes on the back of the second and final season of Mo, which features an acclaimed episode in which the main character makes his long-awaited visit to Palestine. In an interview with The National, Amer recalled the emotional experience of the episode, titled A Call from God. 'It was really hard. You're picking at a scab. You're picking at memories at a very difficult time, with everything that's going on. It was important to be as honest as possible, as grounded as possible,' he said. 'I just had to dig deep and push my own feelings aside and make sure that we made a realistic portrayal of what it's like to be in the West Bank as a Palestinian.' As for his Dubai show, which follows a US tour and a coming special, Amer said he has plenty of experiences to share. 'I've still got so much to do. There's so much to tell,' he said. 'I have so many scripts behind me. I've got another comedy special to film. It doesn't end here.'
