Travis Scott’s Mumbai Concert Goes Viral After Security Sprays Water on Fans to Beat the Heat

Digital Desk

Travis Scott’s second India performance this month drew thousands to Mumbai’s Mahalaxmi Racecourse on Wednesday, but it was an unexpected pre-show moment that captured the internet’s attention. A viral video showed security personnel spraying water over the crowd to help attendees cope with the city’s humidity—an unusual measure that quickly became a talking point online.

The water showers, aimed at cooling down fans before Scott took the stage, were met with cheers rather than irritation. Concertgoers appeared to enjoy the refreshing spray as they waited for the American rapper’s set to begin. The clip circulated widely across social platforms, sparking light-hearted reactions and jokes from users who praised the “ingenious jugaad” for managing the heat.

Comments ranged from playful to bewildered. “Beat the heat with tech,” one user wrote, while another joked, “Abe mosquito thodi na hai yaar sab (they’re not mosquitos).” Others quipped that they initially assumed disinfectant was being sprayed.

Scott delivered a high-energy set, performing hits such as HYAENA, Dumbo, FE!N, and Goosebumps, supported by pyrotechnics and large-scale visuals. Dressed in black, the rapper commanded the stage during the hour-long performance, with several fan-shot videos circulating soon after.

The Mumbai show followed Scott’s India debut in Delhi on October 18 as part of his CIRCUS MAXIMUS tour. The Delhi concert, held at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium and produced by BookMyShow Live, faced logistical issues including delays and partially empty stands, prompting criticism from attendees.

In contrast, the Mumbai event appeared smoother, and the crowd-cooling moment helped create a lighter mood online. While Scott has not yet commented on the viral clip, the incident has added an unexpected twist to his India tour, ensuring the show remains a talking point well beyond the performance.
