After the rejection from Egypt, Travis Scott came up with a new spot with the same rich history connection to promote his new Utopia album concert titled Circus Maximus, i.e., Rome, Italy.

Announcing on Instagram, the Antidote rap star unveiled the date of the show on Aug. 7.

Moreover, the rapper also released a movie with the same title to promote his fourth album in select AMC theatres.

Previously, the 32-year-old had set eyes on the Pyramids of Giza to kick off his long-awaited album promotion.

However, the Egyptian authorities poured cold water on his plans after they canceled the hip-hop star's planned show on multiple complaints of immoral activities in his previous concerts, including alleged display of satanic symbols.

Undeterred, the rapper at the time tweeted, "Egypt in the pyramids will happen but due to demand and detail logistics they just need a bit a time to set lay on lands. I will keep [you] posted on a date which will be soon love you all."

Despite Scott's repeated pleas, the concert NOC was rejected, and the organizers, Live Nation Middle East, were forced to shelve the event.
