Fans Furious at Travis Scott’s 20-Minute Istanbul Debut Set
Fans booed as Travis Scott arrived 90 minutes late and played about 20 minutes at a show billed as a 90-minute set for 2,500 people.
- On Sunday, Houston-born rapper Travis Scott made his Istanbul debut during his first-ever tour of Turkey, but his appearance fell far short of the promised 90-minute "DJ set & mic" performance.
- Tickets ranged from $215 to more than $5,000 for the 2,500-fan event, which the Biletino ticketing website billed as a high-energy experience that would "go beyond classic stage formats."
- Demanding refunds on the Instagram account of promoter TemaCC, Orhan Jung denounced the event as a "disgrace" after Scott arrived 90 minutes late and performed for only 10 minutes.
- But TemaCC chief executive Taylan Ozcan defended the performance in a statement to Turkish media, claiming the rapper "hosted the party for an hour" before his 20-minute set.
- The 35-year-old hip-hop star was scheduled to hold another event in the western Izmir resort on Monday, continuing his first-ever tour of Turkey despite the Istanbul backlash.
