#Travis Scott Closes Out Day 1 Of 2021 Astroworld Festival With A Surprise Set From Drake

Houston, Texas – Travis Scott brought his Astroworld Festival back to Houston, Texas, for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic shut the world down, and La Flame treated fans to a hell of a surprise.

Towards the end of his explosive set on Friday (November 5), Travis Scott asked the crowd to turn up a little more from the front, all the way to the back. Fans were confused by Travis’ request as they were energetic the whole time, but that changed as soon as Drake’s Certified Lover Boy hit “Knife Talk” crept through the speakers.

The 6 God suddenly appeared on stage, and fans burst with excitement seeing him in the flesh as he ripped through his surprise performance. Travis felt the energy from the crowd so much for “Knife Talk” that he told Drizzy to keep going, and he was more than happy to oblige.

Drake gave fans a triple shot of CLB hits with “TSU,” “Way 2 Sexy” and “In 2 Deep.” As if that weren’t enough, Drizzy and Travis performed their No. 1 hit record “SICKO MODE,” satisfying the rabid audience.

Halfway into his impromptu set, Drake made sure to give Travis Scott his flowers for throwing an event like the Astroworld Festival. According to Drake, it’s rare for anyone to do what Travis is doing right now with this annual festival.

“This shit doesn’t happen every day,” said Drake. “You got to be one of the most influential, incredible, best dressed, best musicians with one of the brightest minds and the biggest fan base to pull some shit like this off.”

Drake continued at the end of his set, “One more time, I’m not going to take too much of your time, but Houston, Texas, make some noise for that muthafuckin’ man right there one more time.”

Travis Scott’s exhilarating performance on day one of the Astroworld Festival set the bar high for the performers hitting the stage on Saturday (November 6). BIA, Maxo Kream, 21 Savage, Baby Keem, Young Thug and more have a tall order to handle, but fans will be excited to see what they bring to Houston.
