Playboi Carti Brings Out Travis Scott for a Rare Chicago ‘FE!N’ Moment as the Stadium Tour Keeps Heating Up
CHICAGO, IL — Playboi Carti gave fans at Chicago’s Soldier Field an extra jolt over the weekend when he surprised the crowd by bringing out Travis Scott during his opening set for The Weeknd’s After Hours Til Dawn 2025 Stadium Tour. The cameo turned an already packed stadium show into a much bigger moment for the audience on hand.
Carti and Scott ran through a short but crowd-pleasing stretch of songs, including their hit collaboration “FE!N,” Carti’s “CRUSH,” and Scott’s “goosebumps.” For fans, it was a rare live mashup of records that have helped define both artists’ recent runs.
A surprise guest appearance built around fan favorites
The performance landed during Carti’s set on Saturday, May 31, and quickly became one of the night’s standout talking points. Carti later posted about the moment on social media, tagging DJ Swamp Izzo and Scott while also noting that stadium shows demand a different level of energy.
The set list reflected that point. “FE!N” remains one of Carti and Scott’s best-known collaborations, while “CRUSH” appears on Carti’s latest album, MUSIC. Scott’s “goosebumps,” from Birds In The Trap Sing McKnight, added another familiar crowd reaction song to the mix.
Why this mattered to the crowd in Chicago
The appearance stood out because Carti has kept surprise guests to a minimum during this tour, even though The Weeknd often joins him onstage for songs such as “Timeless” and “RATHER LIE.” That made the Travis Scott stop-by feel less routine and more like a special reward for fans at Soldier Field.
It also added another layer of momentum to a stadium trek that is scheduled to continue through September, leaving room for more guest appearances along the way. For concertgoers, the Chicago stop offered the kind of unexpected collaboration that can turn a big tour date into a memory.
More music teases and more tour dates ahead
Carti has also suggested that more new music could be on the way before the end of 2025. In March, he hinted on social media that he was not finished yet, prompting speculation about a project that may be called BABY BOI or BBYBOY.
Meanwhile, Scott is set to resume his UTOPIA: CIRCUS MAXIMUS TOUR overseas, beginning with a solo date in Qatar before moving on to South Africa, India and additional stops across Asia. For now, though, the Chicago cameo is the moment fans will likely keep replaying.
