Global rap icon Travis Scott is officially set to bring his critically acclaimed Circus Maximus World Tour to the UAE. The Travis Scott Abu Dhabi concert will take place on Saturday, November 15, 2025, at the sprawling Etihad Park venue on Yas Island, marking one of the biggest hip-hop events ever held in the region.
Promoted by Live Nation Middle East, in partnership with the Department of Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi and Miral, the concert is expected to draw tens of thousands of fans from across the UAE, GCC, and beyond.
The UAE stop is part of an exclusive seven-date international leg of the tour and is the only show confirmed in the Middle East, making it a must-attend event for music lovers.
