Before the event, Travis Scott was seen leaving the airport accompanied by his close friend, well-known Turkish DJ Eren AB. His presence added a local touch to the superstar’s arrival and further amplified anticipation for the show, which had been discussed for months before being officially announced.

Once the concert was confirmed, it quickly became one of the most talked-about music events in Istanbul. Fans gathered in large numbers hours before the show, eager to witness a rare moment in the city’s growing international music scene.
