Travis Scott’s “Circus Maximus” world tour hit Melbourne, Australia, and his fans brought the chaos right along with them. The scene outside Marvel Stadium on Tuesday resembled a flashback to the infamous 2021 Astroworld disaster, as restless crowds caused mayhem in anticipation of the show.
Fans, unable to contain their excitement, began throwing objects into the air, ramping up the tension. In the general admission area, things quickly escalated as some bold attendees broke through barricades, even lifting them off the ground in defiance.
Local authorities, including police on horseback, were deployed to control the rowdy crowd. Despite the pandemonium, the show continued as planned. However, the mayhem didn’t stay outside—the wild energy followed some fans inside the venue on Wednesday, where security had to intervene and restore order on the spot.

Known for high-energy performances, Travis Scott’s concerts are expected to get rowdy. But the timing of the chaos in Melbourne has reignited memories of the tragic 2021 Astroworld Festival, where 10 people lost their lives in a crowd surge.
On the same day as the Melbourne concert, Scott closed a significant chapter of the Astroworld tragedy by settling hundreds of lawsuits tied to the disaster. Over 300 people reached settlements with Scott and Live Nation, allowing him to move forward from the legal fallout.
Despite the controversies surrounding his live performances, “Circus Maximus” is one of the hottest tours of the year. Travis even shattered Drake’s sales record for a rap tour, proving that his fanbase remains as devoted as ever—chaos and all.
