The possible reason behind Travis Scott's Egypt concert cancellation

On July 26, 2023, it was officially announced that the Travis Scott Egypt Pyramids concert has been cancelled. A subsequent statement put out by Live Nation shed light on the reason behind the cancellation:

“Unfortunately, despite highest efforts, complex production issues meant that the show could not be constructed in the desert. We understand that this news is disappointing and not the outcome any of us desired.”

The event producers apologized for the inconvenience and informed fans that refunds will be issued for ticket holders at their point of purchase.

As per Variety, the real reason behind the cancellation could be that the Egyptian Musicians Syndicate revoked the previously-issued permit because Travis Scott's concert “goes against the cultural identity of the Egyptian people.”

The Syndicate reportedly announced that they made the decision after analyzing Travis' previous concerts and subsequent social media "opinions and feedback." They explained that their reports contained:

"Authenticated images and information about peculiar rituals performed by [Travis] during his performance.”

These actions were deemed to be in defiance of Egypt's "authentic societal values and traditions."

At the time, however, Live Nation Middle East denied any changes to Travis' concert.
