Travis Scott’s long-awaited Astroworld tour came to Pittsburgh on Sunday and greatly surpassed expectations.

Despite the near-two-year wait for Scott’s Astroworld album, it pleased fans with great sound, energy, and features. Accordingly, the album’s tour had the same effect.

The concert’s three openers included rappers Sheck Wes, Trippie Redd, and Gunna. The artists’ energies perfectly complemented each other and contributed to the vibe of the concert.

After the opening acts performed, Scott made his appearance on his dual-stage setup. With exciting music, visuals, and sound effects to help his on-stage aura, the crowd matched the on-stage excitement.

As Scott progressed through his setlist, he used various props and acts to gain attention.

For instance, Scott grabbed an exhilarated fan from the standing-room moshpit below the stage and took him on a custom rollercoaster, which slowly rode through the rafters. Also, matched with his song, “Carousel,” Scott strapped into a chair that connected to a 360-degree upward-rotating circle ride as he blared the vocals.

Overall, with incredible energy, fan involvement, and an amazing performance, the Astroworld concert was unforgettable.
