Why did Travis Scott get booed at Leeds Festival? Possible reasons explored

Travis Scott gets booed at the Leeds Festival after he leaves his set without completing it. He finished his headlining set 30 minutes earlier than his set timings, leaving fans bewildered.

The Houston-born rapper was billed to perform for an hour and a half, but left after 55 minutes, after the pyro show, which was part of his performance. After the fanfare, he suddenly left the stage, telling the crowd,

“I love you so much. Good bye.”

While some people were left confused and thought it was a trick or a surprise, the booing started the moment a staff member announced that the show was over.

Why did Travis Scott cut his set?

Though Travis Scott has not come out to explain yet, there are a few theories on what could've gone wrong. A festival goer expressed that the crowd was a bit dead, and loads of people were getting hurt and being pulled from the barriers. While some said it was because of tech issues, and he was angry at the tech crew, as they didn't fix the rising platform.

People also speculated that it could have also been due to Travis getting hurt during the pyro show, and maybe that's why he stormed off.

In the 55-minute-long set, Travis played,

• Champain & Vacay
• Dumbo
• Butterfly Effect
• Highest In The Room
• Mamacita
• Stargazing
• Backr00ms
• Kick Out
• Type Shit
• Nightcrawler
• Upper Echelon
• Praise God
• My Eyes
• 90210
• I Know
• Shyne
• Topia Twins
• No Bystanders
• Fe!n
• Sicko Mode
• Antidote
• Goosebumps

Scott hasn't addressed the issue yet; however, he did tweet,

"Who got the over head video of the intro of the set at Leeds. Champain and dumbo that was maddd wild," after the show.

Under the same post, some fans questioned Travis Scott about cutting short the set.

One user said, "any explanation as to why you cut the set 40 minutes early?"

Another questioned, "why’d you leave 30 mins early"

And this was quite a common sentiment, "why u always cutting short bruh"
