Travis Scott's recent Circus Maximus concert in Rome, Italy, reportedly caused seismic activity similar to an earthquake due to the intense energy of the 60,000 fans in attendance. The event was held at the ancient Roman chariot-racing stadium and mass entertainment venue, providing a unique setting for the live expression of Travis Scott's UTOPIA album.

The seismic force generated by the jumping and movement of the massive crowd triggered a machine used to track earthquakes, according to reports. The Italian Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology's Giovanni Diaferia shared this intriguing finding on Twitter. It's notable that despite the event being five miles away, the seismic impact was significant enough to be detected.

This seismic activity has sparked discussions and concerns about holding large-scale events like Travis Scott's concert in ancient historical venues. Additionally, Travis Scott's previous show at the La Maura racetrack in Milano, Italy, in July also caused similar ground-shaking effects, leading some attendees to initially believe that an earthquake was occurring. The impact of live performances on both the audience and the surrounding environment is a testament to the powerful energy generated by music and the artist's stage presence.
