Travis Scott performing as the second headliner at the 2025 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. Thoughtful and incisive, he played to packed houses — by far the biggest professional success of his career. The performance was set to reveal a “new chapter.” It featured one of the best installment themes ever, “Travis Scott builds the desert.” That inventive start immediately foreshadowed what would be a truly unforgettable night of recurring anthems and beloved classics mingling with fresh sounds.
Opening his set with a dramatic introduction from an all-brass 60-piece brass band, Scott the crowd by storm right from the start. He performed his iconic track “Sicko Mode,” enhanced by the dramatic flair of the marching band, creating a powerful atmosphere that resonated throughout the festival grounds.
Scott performed an equally amazing rendition of “Fe!n” that evening. Afterward, he impressed the Cerberus crowd by performing it twice consecutively, leaving the audience amazed. To prove just how versatile an artist he is, he flaunted his lyrical prowess on the highly-anticipated track “Backr00ms.”
Scott got the audience jumping with excitement when he combined his track “Modern Jam” with Drake’s “Nokia.” Touted as an irresistible fusion, the winning combination had the crowd enthralled and viewers clamoring for seconds. He brought out the abbreviated versions of most of his commercial hits too, like “Antidote,” “Goosebumps,” and “Telekinesis.” Each performance showcased his seamless connection to fans paired with infectious energy and creativity on stage.
Scott’s performance was not just a walk down memory lane that covered his entire discography. The show served as the world premiere for his long-teased track “4X4,” his first new music since the blockbuster album, Utopia, released in 2023. The excitement for “4X4” was a sign that Scott was taking a fresh, creative approach, which he teased at during his view of story performance.
Through the end of 2024, Scott has been going public with the celebration of his musical legacy. To coincide with the 10th anniversary of his mixtape Rodeo, he dropped Days Before Rodeo, a surprise mixtape. This solidified him even further as a truly pivotal figure in contemporary music.
During the Coachella performance, Scott included renditions of songs like “Crush” and “AyeOh Jacques,” along with the rumored unreleased track titled “She Going Dumb.” These choices highlighted his vast catalog and readiness to take chances on new songs.
