Travis Scott announces Abu Dhabi concert for November 2025
Promoted by Live Nation Middle East, in collaboration with the Department of Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi and Miral, the show is part of a limited global run that spans six countries, kicking off on October 11 in Johannesburg, South Africa. Other cities on the tour include Delhi, Seoul, Sanya, Tokyo — and now, the UAE capital.
The Abu Dhabi date is expected to draw thousands of fans from across the region, eager to experience the genre-defying artist live as he performs hits from his acclaimed UTOPIA album and beyond. The rapper is known for his boundary-pushing sound and high-octane live shows.
The CIRCUS MAXIMUS tour originally launched in October 2023 and quickly evolved into a global phenomenon. With 76 sold-out shows across North America, Europe, Latin America, Australia, and New Zealand, the tour shattered records to become the highest-grossing rap tour in history — pulling in $209.3 million and selling over 1.7 million tickets. Following this global success, the 2025 leg is Scott's exclusive run across select international cities.

The collaboration transforms the cargo payment process by providing customers with a digital payment platform that connects carriers with freight forwarders and vendors. The launch addresses the cargo industry's reliance on traditional payment systems, including cash transactions. Emirates SkyCargo adopts PayCargo's payment solution Emirates SkyCargo customers in the UAE can now process payments through credit card or direct debit, enabling same-day or next-business-day cargo release. The integration forms part of the airline's strategy to implement digital solutions that improve operational efficiency and customer service. Badr Abbas, Divisional Senior Vice President, Emirates SkyCargo, said: 'The next era of logistics, and of Emirates SkyCargo, will be defined by smart technology and digital solutions. This partnership with PayCargo ensures we are at the forefront of that evolution, providing faster and more secure transactions for our customers, streamlining processes for our internal teams, and solving industry-wide challenges of accessing air freight capacity.'

The UAE launch follows a strategic alliance established in 2022 between PayCargo and Seed Group, a company of the Private Office of Sheikh Saeed bin Ahmed Al Maktoum. Seed Group facilitated PayCargo's introduction to the UAE market and supported the company's expansion across the Middle East and North Africa region. The UAE has positioned itself as a trade hub through investments in multi-modal infrastructure, digital and technology acceleration, and forward-looking policies. These developments have strengthened the country's position as a logistics hub. The partnership between PayCargo and Emirates SkyCargo, described as the world's largest international airline, establishes the foundation for increased logistics resilience supported by digital infrastructure.
