Travis Scott isn’t just a rapper—he’s a sonic architect who designs his concerts like amusement park rides, creating full-body experiences that blend explosive soundscapes with immersive atmospheres. Central to that experience is the setlist: the carefully chosen collection of songs performed in a specific order at each show. For Travis, the setlist isn’t just about playing hits. It’s a musical blueprint that guides the emotional rhythm of the night—when to rage, when to reflect, when to jump, and when to just let the sound wash over you.
A Travis Scott concert setlist is engineered to evolve. In his early days, the setlists were raw and experimental, filled with dark, ambient beats and high-tempo trap from his mixtapes Owl Pharaoh and Days Before Rodeo. As his discography grew, so did the structure and power of his live sets. Albums like Rodeo, Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight, and Astroworld brought anthems that demanded pyrotechnics, rollercoaster rigs, and moshing thousands. Now, with Utopia in the mix, his setlists are more refined yet chaotic in the best way—curated for both sonic storytelling and high-octane crowd engagement.
These setlists serve multiple roles: they reflect Travis’s creative evolution, they honor fan favorites, and they shape the visual and emotional arc of his performances. In this article, we’ll break down his Top 50 Concert Setlists, grouped into five chronological phases. Each group contains 10 carefully curated setlists, followed by a long, reflective paragraph that explains how that era shaped Travis’s career and why those performances still resonate.

The Early Flame
This first era captures the essence of Travis Scott’s breakout years—raw, hungry, and experimental. These setlists represent the years when Travis was still proving himself in small clubs, festival side stages, and opening sets. Without the giant rollercoasters or headline billing, Travis had to rely on sheer performance energy and the loyalty of early fans to elevate the room. His setlists were aggressive and unrelenting, a true reflection of the sound he was pioneering: dark, ambient, and trap-heavy. These shows featured heavy doses of Owl Pharaoh and Days Before Rodeo, loaded with now-classic early anthems like “Quintana,” “Upper Echelon,” and “Mamacita.” These songs, often performed with remix-style transitions and raw emotion, helped build a cult-like following. This era’s setlists were less about polish and more about pure rage, laying the foundation for the chaos and creativity to come.

These early performances were raw and visceral, a reflection of Travis Scott’s underground momentum. Without massive budgets or stadium crowds, he built his following through intensity, track selection, and pure stage charisma. Every setlist during this era was a declaration of intent—Travis Scott was here not to entertain, but to dominate.

The Rise of the Birds
This group of setlists marks the moment Travis Scott began transitioning from the underground to full-blown mainstream icon. After the release of Rodeo, which gave him massive hits like “Antidote” and “3500,” he followed up with Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight—a project that proved he was no longer just a feature artist or mixtape legend. The album was a complete sonic experience, blending trap, R&B, psychedelia, and ambient vibes into a project that dominated both headphones and stadium speakers. And that same energy translated to his live performances, which were now larger, more conceptual, and full of fire—both literally and figuratively.
In this phase, the setlists evolved beyond chaos for chaos’ sake. Travis started to shape his shows with more structure: opening with mood-setters like “The Ends” or “Way Back,” gradually ramping up energy with “Goosebumps” or “Through the Late Night,” and then going nuclear with closers like “Antidote” or “Pick Up the Phone.” The visuals were becoming more psychedelic, the lighting more coordinated, and the crowd control more deliberate. You could feel the shift—these weren’t just concerts anymore, they were full-blown events. Fans weren’t just coming to hear their favorite songs—they were coming to experience them.

With Birds in the Trap, he fully leaned into his spacey, ambient trap aesthetic, crafting mood-driven shows that blurred the line between rave and ritual. And the fans? They didn’t just sing along—they raged. They moshed. They screamed every lyric. And they followed him from festival to festival, show to show, ready to be swept up in the next sonic whirlwind.

Entering Astroworld
This group of setlists represents the moment Travis Scott fully transformed from a superstar into a global phenomenon. The release of Astroworld in August 2018 wasn’t just a music event—it was a cultural movement. The album’s success was meteoric, with tracks like “Sicko Mode,” “Stargazing,” and “Yosemite” climbing charts and dominating playlists. But it was the live performances of these songs that turned Astroworld into an unforgettable era. Travis Scott didn’t just perform these tracks—he created an actual theme park experience around them. From rollercoasters suspended above fans to fog-blasting flame throwers and psychedelic visuals, the Astroworld: Wish You Were Here tour changed the expectations for rap concerts.
Setlists during this era became more cinematic, arranged to mimic the emotional and sonic arc of the album. Shows often opened with “Stargazing,” a spacey, haunting intro that transported audiences into Travis’s psychedelic universe. Then came the transitions—jumps into high-energy tracks like “Carousel,” “No Bystanders,” and “Sicko Mode” to get the crowd into mosh mode. Midway through, he’d slow the pace with reflective tracks like “Stop Trying to Be God” and “R.I.P. Screw” before ramping back up for a fiery finale with “Goosebumps,” “Yosemite,” or “Can’t Say.” These setlists were not random—they were carefully structured for maximum emotional and visual impact, and each show felt like stepping into another planet built by Travis himself.

This group of setlists defined a new level of artistry for Travis Scott. He didn’t just give fans a playlist; he gave them an environment, a narrative, a universe. The shows were unforgettable not just because of the songs, but because of how he performed them—suspended in mid-air, surrounded by flames, lost in neon fog, with 20,000 fans screaming every lyric back at him. Every transition, every tempo change, every drop in the setlist was orchestrated for maximum chaos and catharsis. The Astroworld era was a creative explosion that elevated the setlist from a performance tool to a theatrical script—and Travis Scott, its master conductor.

Between Worlds – Post-Astroworld and Utopia Tease
Following the global impact of Astroworld, Travis Scott entered a new chapter where every performance carried not only the energy of his biggest hits but also the burden of expectation. Fans were waiting for the next album. Speculation around Utopia began building in 2020, and every setlist in this period carried a sense of mystery. What would he perform? Would there be new material? Would he change the formula or raise the stakes again?
This group of setlists occurred during a time when Travis was solidifying his reputation as a live performance titan. He was no longer just a rapper—he was a cultural force who could headline festivals, launch his own carnival-like experiences, and partner with brands like Fortnite and Dior. His shows remained high-octane spectacles, but they also became moments of suspense and narrative shaping. Each setlist was a hybrid of nostalgia (with crowd favorites from Rodeo, Birds, and Astroworld) and hints at the future (Utopia snippets, new beats, and strategic transitions).
These performances also had to adapt to a rapidly changing world. Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Travis Scott explored virtual concerts, performing in digital worlds like Fortnite and keeping fan engagement alive despite physical distance. This was not just innovation—it was survival and reinvention.

-
Astroworld Festival (2021): A haunting and controversial set. While the setlist featured “Escape Plan,” “Highest in the Room,” “Sicko Mode,” and “Goosebumps,” the tragic crowd events overshadowed the music. This became a turning point in how Travis would approach performances moving forward.
This group of setlists reflects a moment of tension, creativity, and reinvention. Travis Scott was clearly experimenting—both with his music and the medium of live performance. Whether it was through virtual stages or unreleased songs, he used every setlist as a teaser for the next world he was building: Utopia. But this period was also marked by increasing scrutiny, particularly following the 2021 Astroworld tragedy. The setlists, while still high-powered, began to carry emotional weight and controversy. Travis was now living in the space between triumph and tragedy—his concerts no longer just ragers, but moments of introspection, recalibration, and evolution.

Utopia Realized – The Sonic Odyssey
Travis Scott’s Utopia era is a culmination of nearly a decade of experimentation, success, controversy, and rebirth. After years of teasing and building anticipation, Utopia finally dropped in 2023, and it landed like a sonic meteor—complex, layered, defiant, and futuristic. This album ushered in a new level of conceptual depth for Travis, not just musically, but visually and thematically. Naturally, the setlists that followed became masterclasses in world-building. These weren’t just concerts—they were immersive, cerebral journeys that took fans into a realm of dystopian soundscapes and thunderous euphoria.
The Circus Maximus tour and related performances reflect this next evolution in Scott’s artistry. Setlists now blend cinematic visuals, Gregorian choirs, and orchestral buildups with his traditional mosh pit anthems. Songs like “Hyaena,” “Thank God,” “Modern Jam,” and “Fein” don’t just play—they erupt, surrounded by lasers, multi-layered video effects, and new stagecraft techniques. But what’s equally compelling is how seamlessly Travis fuses Utopia tracks with his legacy catalog. In the same set, you might rage to “Goosebumps,” soar with “Stop Trying to Be God,” and then spiral into the hard-hitting “My Eyes” or “Til Further Notice.”

This final group of setlists demonstrates Travis Scott at the peak of his creative and performance power. He’s no longer just commanding mosh pits—he’s conducting entire emotional symphonies. Utopia introduced new complexities to his concerts: longer transitions, extended intros, multi-phase songs, choreographed lighting, and even costume changes. These performances aren’t just concerts—they’re audio-visual storytelling experiences, carefully paced like epic films. The setlists are layered, structured to build narrative and tension, climaxing in explosive rage or introspective breakdowns.

Travis Scott has redefined what a hip-hop concert can be—not just through his music, but through the design and intention of his setlists. Across all fifty performances we’ve examined, his live shows have evolved from gritty club mosh pits to genre-bending, stadium-filling visual odysseys. Each setlist isn’t just a playlist of hits—it’s a narrative framework, a roadmap through rage, reflection, celebration, and transcendence. Whether performing in intimate venues during his Owl Pharaoh days, riding mechanical birds during the Birds Eye View tour, unveiling his psychedelic amusement park in Astroworld, or elevating his shows into cinematic experiences with Utopia, Travis has mastered the art of crafting moments.
His concerts are meticulously orchestrated chaos—built on the tension between unpredictability and precision. He knows exactly when to drop “Goosebumps” to spark an eruption, or when to slide into “Stop Trying to Be God” to shift the emotional temperature. His ability to pace a set, to take the audience on a ride, is unparalleled. And while his production continues to get bigger, louder, and more visually stunning, it’s the music—the setlist—that remains the heartbeat of it all.
