The Astroworld – Wish You Were Here Tour was the third concert tour by American rapper and singer Travis Scott, in support of his third studio album, Astroworld (2018). American rappers Sheck Wes, Trippie Redd, Gunna served as the opening acts in North America for the first leg of the tour, with Sheck Wes solely continuing in North America for the second leg and Octavian being the sole opening act in Europe for the third leg, while Trippie Redd dropped out of the tour less than a month after it started. Don Toliver also came out to perform "Can't Say" with Scott for every show in the first leg and a few shows in the second leg despite not serving as an opening act for the tour. The tour started on November 8, 2018, at the CFG Bank Arena (then known as the Royal Farms Arena) in Baltimore, Maryland, and ended on July 16, 2019, at the O2 Arena in London, England.
Background The tour was officially announced via Scott's Instagram on August 16, 2018. Scott announced "Ive Been Ready To Get Back On Road For A Long Time!! Astroworld Tour Is Finally Here!!". In August 2018, prior to the start of the tour, Scott announced via Instagram "this is leg one Europe and other cities coming soon". At the start of the tour, Scott announced "more dates TBS". Scott also announced that Virgil Abloh, Sheck Wes, Trippie Redd, and Gunna would perform opening acts. On December 7, 2018, it was announced that Redd would no longer support Scott as an opening act for the duration of the tour due to "production issues" and cut down set times. On June 10, 2019, Scott announced a show at the O2 Arena in London, where he would officially end the tour.
Setup The initial idea of the Wish You Were Here Tour was to revive the childhood amusement park, Six Flags AstroWorld, where each stage was decorated in a fashion reminiscent of the theme park with features such as a small functioning ferris wheel and roller coaster. Instead of having one stage for the show, Scott opted for two stages, one on each end of the arena.
Critical reception North America The show was reviewed positively by Charles Holmes in Rolling Stone, Julian Kimble in The Washington Post, and by Chris DeVille of Stereogum.
