The Rager is Coming! Your Pre-Event Guide to Travis Scott’s CIRCUS MAXIMUS Tour in South Africa!
JOHANNESBURG, ARE YOU READY TO RAGE?
The day we’ve all been waiting for is almost here. Travis Scott is finally bringing the electrifying CIRCUS MAXIMUS TOUR to South Africa, kicking off the international leg right here at FNB Stadium in Johannesburg on Saturday, October 11, 2025!
This isn’t just a concert; it’s a spectacle, a sonic journey, and an all-out experience that demands preparation. To ensure you have the absolute sickest time, we’ve put together your essential guide on what to prep, what to wear, and how to navigate the day.
🚀 Mission Control: Event Preparation Checklist
Travis Scott shows are known for their high-energy, and you need to be in peak form. Here’s what you need to lock down before you step into the Stadium:
1. Secure Your Entry:
- Mobile Tickets: Download your Ticketmaster ticket to your phone’s Apple Wallet or Google Pay before you leave home. Connectivity at the stadium can be unreliable, and you don’t want to be stranded at the gate.
- ID: Bring your valid ID (South African ID, driver’s license, or passport). This is essential for entry, especially if you have standing tickets (Standing is typically 18+ and a minimum height of 1.6m).
2. Master the Logistics:
- Timing is Key: Doors open at 16:00, with support starting around 17:45 and Travis Scott hitting the stage at 20:30. Arrive early! For standing tickets, getting there as doors open is the only way to secure a good spot.
- Transport Plan: FNB Stadium is known for heavy traffic. Do not plan to drive directly and park without pre-booking.
- Park & Ride: Highly recommended! Book your Park & Ride ticket in advance for a stress-free journey to and from the stadium. Buses start departing early (as early as 15:00).
- Drop-Off/E-hailing: Plan a specific, pre-arranged spot a short walk away, as road closures will affect access right to the gates from 11:00 am.
- Cash & Card: Have some cash for smaller vendors, but most major points will accept card payments.
3. Stay Safe & Hydrated:
- Hydration: October in Joburg can be hot! Make sure you’re well-hydrated throughout the day, especially if you’re standing.
- Ear Protection: This is a stadium show with massive sound. Bring earplugs, especially for younger fans or if you plan to be near the speakers.
Dress Code: Rager Ready (What to Wear)
Travis Scott’s aesthetic is pure streetwear, comfort, and a touch of the dystopian. Your outfit should reflect the Utopia vibe: stylish, but most importantly, built for movement (and maybe a mosh pit!).
The Golden Rule: Comfort Over Everything
1. Footwear is Non-Negotiable:
- Choose Comfort and Durability: Forget your brand-new, expensive sneakers or open-toed shoes. Your feet will get stepped on, and you’ll be standing for hours.
- Best Bets: Comfortable, broken-in sneakers (Jordans, Dunks, Air Force 1s—just not your most prized pair!), or sturdy boots.
2. The Fit:
- Streetwear Vibe: Think baggy jeans, cargos (great for pockets!), oversized graphic tees, and hoodies/jackets.
- Layers: As the concert is in the evening, the temperature will drop. Start with a light, breathable base (like a band tee or Travis merch) and layer with a light denim or bomber jacket you can tie around your waist or hold.
- Colours: Stick to dark, earthy tones, blacks, whites, and greys—the classic streetwear palette.
- Accessories:
- Hats/Caps: A simple cap (like a ‘Cactus Jack’ style) is perfect for shading yourself pre-show and keeping your hair out of your face during the rage.
- Bags: Check the stadium’s bag policy! Usually, only small clutch bags or clear bags are allowed. A small crossbody bag is ideal for keeping your phone, ID, and money secure and close to your body.
3. What to AVOID:
- Anything too restrictive or tight.
- Jewelry you care about losing (especially dangling earrings or fragile chains).
- Expensive, delicate items that can’t handle a crowd.
- High heels or uncomfortable fashion boots.
Get ready to hear tracks from Utopia, Astroworld, and all the classics that will shake the FNB Stadium to its core. This is your time to connect with thousands of other fans, feel the bass in your chest, and live out the “La Flame” energy.
Be smart, be safe, and most of all, be ready to rage! See you in the CIRCUS MAXIMUS!
