Travis Scott is back to headlining.
On Saturday night, the Grammy-nominated rapper took the stage at London’s O2 Arena for his first solo concert since last year’s Astroworld Festival. The two-night sold-out event kicked off around 9:30 p.m. local time with a stellar performance of “Hold That Heat.” Videos shared on social media showed Scott standing atop an elevated platform equipped with pyrotechnics. Of course, the audience were quick to match Scott’s energy, as they were seen jumping and cheering throughout the opener.
Scott went on to perform several more cuts before making his way off the platform. “Mamacita,” “God’s Country,” “Escape Plan,” and “Highest in the Room” were among the cuts that made the final setlist.
