Years after Coachella removed Travis Scott from their lineup due to the tragic events of Astroworld in 2021, it seems like Cactus Jack is back in the good graces of the annual concert event as he and a few other big name artists are set to headline Coachella come 2025.
Taking to Instagram to announce their upcoming lineup, the “SICKO MODE” rapper will be joining the likes of Post Malone, Green Day and Lady Gaga when Coachella kicks off their two-weekend event on April 11-13 and April 18-20. Other notable names joining the festivities will be the likes of Missy Elliott, GloRilla, Megan Thee Stallion, and even Three 6 Mafia. We hope Three 6 Mafia breaks out their Oscar trophy from 2006. Don’t let that accomplishment die, y’all!
Taking to Instagram to announce his return to Coachella, Travis Scott posted a pic of next year’s concert event and in the caption wrote:
“NEW CHAPTER
NEW PERFORMANCE
NEW COACHELLA BY LA FLAME AND CACTUS JACK
FIRST OF ITS KIND
PS YALL 🥷 GOT TILL APRIL CAUSE
IM COMING.”
Is Travis Scott planning on dropping some new work in preparation for his return to Coachella? Could he possibly bring out Young Thug to the festivities and have the crowd go berserk? Guess we’ll have to wait and see.
Tickets for the 2025 Coachella will be available for presale on Friday (Nov. 22), at 11 a.m. PT on their website here.

Originally released on August 18, 2014, Scott fans can look forward to hearing songs like “Don’t Play” featuring Big Sean, “1975,” and “Mamacita” featuring Rich Homie Quan and Young Thug again.
The mixtape also featured production from Metro Boomin, Lex Luger, and WondaGurl and appearances from Migos, Peewee Longway, and Young Thug.
Of course, a merch store will allow fans to purchase three different box sets, hats, hoodies, and vinyl records. Those who get their hands on the mixtape’s digital version will gain access to unreleased tracks.
The “Sicko Mode” crafter got the ragers raging by dropping a trailer for the mixtape on his Instagram account. In the clip, we see him in the studio with Metro Boomin, Future, and Young Thug, getting up close and personal with his fans by crowd surfing.

He has since rebounded in the form of numerous settlements from the deadly incident that occurred at his Astroworld music festival and was last seen at Michael Rubin’s Fanatics convention, Fanatics Fest, where he showed off his DJing skills and put on an impromptu performance for the attendees.

Just weeks after Travis Scott found himself in a pickle over disorderly intoxication on a yacht, the Hip-Hop superstar is once again in hot water as he was arrested in Paris for fighting with his own bodyguard.
People is reporting that the “Highest In The Room” rapper was taken into custody by the “oui oui” police at a five-star hotel in the capital of France after he got into it with his bodyguard in the wee hours of Friday (Aug. 9). Scott was in town to see Team U.S.A. participate in the 2024 Olympics. Unfortunately, it remains to be seen if he’ll be able to see them compete for the gold in tomorrow’s game (Aug. 10) as authorities were waiting for him to sober up before questioning him about the incident.
Per People:
“I can confirm that on August 9, 2024, shortly after 5 a.m., the police were called to the Georges V Hotel and arrested the man nicknamed Travis Scott for assaulting a security guard,” the Paris prosecutor’s officer said in a statement obtained by PEOPLE.
“The latter had himself intervened to separate the rapper from his bodyguard. The 1st judicial police district was seized of the investigation by the Paris prosecutor’s office,” the statement added.
On Thursday, Aug. 8, Scott, real name Jacques Bermon Webster II, was photographed attending Team USA’s basketball semifinal win against Serbia at the Bercy Arena at the Paris 2024 Olympics.
Damn, Travis Scott’s really been wilding out as of late. The man might have to take a break from his recreational activities if he continues to fly off the handle whenever he feels a little saucy. This kind of behavior isn’t beneficial to him whatsoever.
Aside from the incident on the yacht, Travis Scott also got into some fisticuffs with Cher’s boyfriend, Alexander “A.E.” Edwards at a Cannes afterparty back in May for reasons still unknown.
Seems like Travis Scott has been dealing with some anger issues as of late.
As for this most recent incident, Scott’s team did not reply to requests for comment for People.

Travis Scott has just found himself in trouble with the law as the “Highest In The Room” rapper was booked for disorderly intoxication while partying up in Miami.
According to TMZ, Scott was aboard a yacht when he allegedly got into an altercation with other occupants who ultimately had enough of his antics and called the police. When the cops got there they escorted La Flame off the boat and into a waiting vehicle which drove him away. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the end of the situation and Scott reportedly took things up a notch, which landed him behind bars.
Per TMZ:
Cops say Travis told them if he got into the car he was “gonna catch a fade” — and then they say he was driven away … only to return 5 minutes later, with the cops posted up and seeing him attempt to head back to the boat. They say they intercepted him … and claim TS became erratic and belligerent, at which point they arrested him. BTW, they say Travis reeked of booze during all this … hence the disorderly intoxication charge he was booked on.
Sources close to Travis tell us he was hit with a minor charge, which he already posted bond for — in other words, he’s been released from jail at this point. In terms of the actual incident, we’re told he was just partying and that things got a little out of hand between Travis and the staff when he refused to leave … but the situation never got violent.
Travis Scott got arrested for being drunk in public out in Florida — and his mug shot is a sobering one.
Scott was eventually booked into he county jail on early Thursday morning (June 20), which also got him the new mugshot.
You have to wonder what led to Scott getting into it with other passengers on a yacht. Also that’s the most millionaire kind of way to get arrested. Just sayin.’

So far there’s only been two official colorway releases of Travis Scott’s “Jumpman Jack” Jordan sneaker line, and though more have been promised in the near future, the “Highest In The Room” rapper teased a new colorway that may or may not see the light of day.
Recently the Houston representative was spotted at Game 2 of the NBA Finals in Boston and in an apparent show of support for the Beantown team, Scott was rocking a never-before-seen Celtic green and black colorway of his popular “Jumpman Jack” sneakers. According to Sneakernews this particular pair isn’t scheduled to release anytime soon (if ever), but don’t be surprised if these joints end up being one of the many unreleased Travis Scott x Jordan colorways that have turned to grail status as only a select few have had the honor of being blessed with a pair.
Per Sneakernews:
While the emerald tones front-and-center on this shoe are certainly fit for the occasion, that design choice presents a bit of a curveball in La Flame’s lineage. His neutral-toned takes on the Air Jordan 1are well documented at this point, but even on the Jumpman Jack, an edition without any earthy tones whatsoever is noteworthy. There’s also a switch-up materially; luxe suede marks the underlays, typically composed of mesh on both past releases and those we’ve gotten an early preview of.
It’s entirely unclear whether this is a sample pair afforded to or conceived by La Flame, or if this is an early preview of a colorway that’ll hit shelves later in the shoe’s run. Releases for the Jordan Jumpman Jack “Mocha” and Jordan Jumpman Jack “Thunder” will almost undoubtedly precede this pair, leaving this edition’s potential debut a bit down the road regardless.
These are cool and all, but us sneakerheads still rather see a release of the Travis Scott x Air Jordan 4 in the mocha colorway or purple and white that he was rocking a few years ago. Just sayin.’ Not sure why he and Jordan Brand likes to make us sneakerheads suffer like this.
What do y’all think of the black and green “Jumpman Jack” sneakers that Travis Scott rocked at the NBA Finals? Would you want to see these drop or rather one of his many other exclusive colorways? Let us know in the comments section below.

Source: Ethan Miller / Getty / Travis ScottHip-Hop star Travis Scott and model and producer Alexander “A.E.” Edwards scrapping in Cannes was definitely not on our bingo cards.
Over the weekend, a video darker than the Game of Thrones episode “The Long Night” hit timelines. In it, Travis Scott and Tyga supposedly exchange fists while in a nightclub in Cannes, France.
According to Variety, the “Goosebumps” crafter was not fighting his baby mama’s ex. Instead, he was getting physical with Cher’s current boyfriend and newest MAGA cult member, Amber Rose’s ex, Alexander Edwards.
Per Variety:
Early reports suggested the brawl involved rapper Tyga, although footage shared with Variety appears to show it was model and producer Alexander “A.E.” Edwards, Cher’s boyfriend and Tyga’s friend, and allegedly Scott who were throwing most of the punches. Sources close to the situation say American record producer Southside was also seen pushing Edwards, which is what possibly led to the escalation of the fight between Scott and Edwards.
The website contacted representatives for Edwards, Scott, and Southside but did not receive an immediate response.
Tyga Did Not Throw Any Punches
While many initially believed Tyga was involved in the altercation, Variety confirms he did not throw a punch. He and his buddy A.E. did not leave until early morning and were not seriously harmed.
As for Scott, he is no stranger to throwing hands at nightclubs.
About a year ago, Scott was involved in an altercation with a 52-year-old man during an afterparty Don Toliver was hosting at a New York nightclub.
Just a few weeks ago, Scott and event promoter Live Nation settled a majority of the ten wrongful death lawsuits that came after ten people were killed at his Astroworld Festival.
Scott has settled the remaining lawsuit set to go to trial, with jury selection taking place on May 8.
X Users Are React To Travis Scott & Tyga Being At Cannes
Once the fight video hit timelines, confusion was common among users on X, formerly Twitter, specifically because Tyga, Travis Scott, A.E., and Southside were in Cannes during a film festival.
Fair question.
You can see more reactions in the gallery below.

Travis Scott and Live Nation have reportedly settled a majority of the wrongful death lawsuits brought against them in the wake of the Astroworld tragedy. Out of 10 wrongful death lawsuits to emerge after the incident, one case went to trial this week.
As reported by the Associated Press, the bulk of the wrongful death lawsuits have been settled including the case of Madison Dubiski, 23, a Houston native who was one of the people killed in the tragic incident. Although the Dubisiki matter was set to go to trial this past Tuesday (May 7), that case was also settled.
“Mr. Scott is grateful that a resolution has been reached without the need for a trial,” Ted Anastasiou, a representative for the rapper, offered in a statment. “The confidential agreement will honor Madison Dubiski’s legacy and promote improvements for concert safety.”
The last open lawsuit is from the family of Ezra Blount, 9, who was the youngest person to lose their life at Astroworld. The judge overseeing the matter said that if the family doesn’t settle, this may be the next trial instead of the several injury cases brought against the defendants. ‘
Neal Manne, an attorney for Live Nation, said that around 2,400 injury cases are still pending. Over 4,000 plaintiffs filed hundreds of lawsuits after the conclusion of the concert.
After an investigation into the Astroworld tragedy was conducted, a grand jury did not indict Travis Scott along with five other individuals.
