On Feb. 26, hip-hop artist Travis Scott bought his critically acclaimed “ASTROWORLD: WISH YOU WERE HERE” tour to the Bryce Jordan Center. The show opened with rapper Sheck Wes performing around 7:45. Scott, however, didn’t take the stage until about 9:30 p.m.

“Astroworld" — Scott’s critically acclaimed 2018 album of the same name — was number one on the Billboard 200 chart for two weeks at the time of its release on Aug. 17 and again the week of Dec. 3 in 2018. The album includes the popular single “Sicko Mode” featuring Drake, “Butterfly Effect” and “Yosemite”.

Scott’s set had two set separate stages, a smaller stage to the left side of the BJC and a larger stage to the right. The “Sicko Mode” rapper kicked off his show with red and purple lighting on the smaller left stage. He opened performing “Stargazing” — the first song off of the “Astroworld” album.

The rapper called out a security guard early on in his performance for trying to make an audience member back away from the barricade. He spoke to the guard on stage saying that his concert is “like a rave.”

He engaged with the crowd from the beginning of the show screaming “Penn State make some noise” as fire shot out from the stage. Behind Scott was a loop roller coaster track which he rode while performing. He then allowed two audience members to ride the roller coaster as he continued.

“The roller coaster was so cool and looked like so much fun. That combined with the songs and his energy made it such a great performance and I’d love to see him again,” Kaitlyn Carpenter (sophomore-health policy and administration) said.

After performing a few songs, Scott then disappeared from the smaller stage and reappeared on the larger stage with heavy fog, bright lights, fireworks and fire to perform “Butterfly Effect.” Scott’s setlist also included a few songs from his previous albums such as “Birds in the Trap Sing Mcknight” (2016).

During the middle of the show, two projector screens were lowered down splitting the crowd. Various phrases were projected on the screens such as “Look Mom I can fly” and “No Bystanders”.

Scott energetically jumped around the stage matching the energy of the those in the sold-out crowd.

“I just love Travis Scott’s energy and his vibe, its unmatched. I wish I was able to get on the rollercoaster with him. The energy during the show was crazy. I’m a huge fan and I would love to see him perform again,” Theodis Winslett (senior-labor and employment relations) said.

Scott’s high energy performance may have motivated a male audience member to jump on to the stage with the rapper. The audience member then tried to jump into the crowd in an attempt to crowd surf, but he missed the crowd by a few inches and landed on the barricade, being escorted out of the venue by security immediately after.

The “Goosebumps” rapper also included an inflated gold adaptation of his head on the smaller stage as well as a large inflated astronaut on the larger stage briefly as he performed.

Scott’s intricate and creative set also included a second longer roller coaster track which carried Scott and three fans across the room and back.

“I loved the 'Look Mom I can fly' sign projected on the screen. It was an insane performance. I am a huge fan of his and I can’t wait to perform again during his next tour,” Ashley Winthrop (sophomore-advertising) said.

The energetic artist closed out the show with his Drake assisted hit “Sicko Mode” saying “no matter what a hater says to you, go sicko mode on ‘em.” Before the song concluded, Scott climbed on to a platform that raised him up higher at the peak of the song, then descended into the floor as he thanked the audience for coming out to the show.
