CONCERT REVIEW: Travis Scott’s “One Night Only In Utopia”
By Adrian Kartalozi
Travis Scott brought “One Night Only In Utopia” from his Circus Maximus World Tour to MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, on October 9th. The sold-out show had 82,500 in attendance.
The doors to the venue opened at 6:30 pm, and crowds made their way down to the merchandise and concessions stands before hitting their seats. The show officially started at 9:30 pm. Travis Scott made his entrance by being launched from under the stage as fireworks went off around the stadium.
To kick off the show, he performed songs from his 2023 hit album Utopia, such as “Hyena,” “My Eyes,” “Thank God,“ and “Modern Jam.“ Scott would switch it up and bring out rapper Sheck Wes to perform his “Mo Bamba“ one-hit wonder to get the stadium pumping. Scott performed “FE!N“ a total of five times. After the fifth time, rapper Playboi Carti made a surprise appearance and sang his verse in “FE!N“ as the whole stadium went wild. After Carti’s performance, rapper Future made a surprise appearance and performed “Type Sh*t“ from his album We Don’t Trust You.
Concertgoer Chase Meere appreciated the high-profile guest collaborations. “The artists were great, and the stadium atmosphere was amazing—the pyrotechnics and flashing lights added to the fun. My favorite part of the show was when Travis brought out Playboi Carti and Future, and the entire stadium went crazy. I also loved the part where they were shooting fireworks nonstop for almost an entire song. I thought that the setlist was perfect. He performed many of his old songs, which I love, and his new ones.”
Travis also performed classics such as “SICKO MODE,” “goosebumps,” “Nightcrawler,” “Highest in the Room,“ and “Antidote“ from his hit albums ASTROWORLD, Rodeo, and Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight. To wrap up the night, Scott performed FE!N two more times and surprised everyone by playing “Apple Pie“ for the first time since 2016 and then playing “TELEKINESIS“ to end the night.
Travis Scott fan Joey Buscarino described his concert experience. “I went to his concert at Madison Square Garden, and it was great, too, but this one blew me away because it was at MetLife. There were fireworks and even a ride there. My favorite part was when he sang Nightcrawler with some of his fans on stage. I love how he always brings a lot of energy to his shows; it makes them ten times better.“
Scott announced that this was his last tour in North America, and he is going to Europe next week to finish his tour.
