Travis Scott is set to headline series of festivals in South America this year, which will mark his first major concert performance since his Astroworld crowd crush tragedy left 10 people dead.
Scott, 30, is expected to be performing in front of crowds larger than 100,000 at the Primavera Festival which will visit Brazil, Chile and Argentina.
The boyfriend of Kylie Jenner is headlining in November, and will play three shows, with New Zealand singer Lorde scheduled on the lineup before him.
TMZ also reports that Scott is expected to appear at more concerts this summer.
It was also announced on Wednesday that the rapper - who turns 31 this Saturday - is scheduled to perform May 7 at 8pm at the 20K-square-foot nightclub E11EVEN Miami.
The nightclub will be his first official concert since the deadly Astroworld crowd crush at his show in Houston on November 5 that left 10 people dead.
Tickets cost $150 for women and $250 for men at the 21+ Florida venue, and TMZ reports that VIP tables might cost well over $100K.
E11EVEN Miami features a hydraulic elevating stage, fully-equipped DJ booth, seven private VIP rooms, 32 VIP conversation rooms, and a 'party pit' with 600 square feet of LED video walls and lighting.
Travis (born Jacques Webster) previously performed short impromptu sets at an April 17 Coachella after-party for Bootsy Bellows, and at Richie Akiva and Darren Dzienciol's pre-Oscars party in Bel-Air on March 26.
Autopsies revealed all 10 Astroworld victims died of 'compression asphyxia' - Madison Dubiski, 23; John Hilgert, 14; Bharti Shahani, 22; Axel Acosta, 21; Brianna Rodriguez, 16; Mirza Baig, 27; Franco Patino, 21; Jacob Jurinek, 21; Rodolfo Angel Peña, 23; and Ezra Blount, 9.
In addition, 300 Astroworld attendees were injured and 25 were hospitalized after the negligent concert at NRG Park where hundreds of fans were seen forcefully storming the entrance.
On April 19, Governor Greg Abbott's Texas Task Force on Concert Safety concluded that 'an inconsistent permitting process across Texas and lack of event security training and communication as contributing factors to the tragedy.'
Scott has shed no tears and taken no responsibility for the 'mass casualty' event aside from launching a $5M philanthropic and safety initiative called Project HEAL.
Texas judge Kristen Hawkins is presiding over many of the 500 lawsuits against the Cactus Jack owner and the other organizers of Astroworld Festival.
The millionaire father-of-two was previously arrested for disorderly conduct in 2015 for encouraging fans to jump the barricades at Lollapalooza, and in 2017 for inciting a riot at an Arkansas show.
On April 22, Travis was featured on rappers Southside and Future's song Hold That Heat (heater is slang for gun), which has amassed 4.9M views on YouTube.
Scott also rented four billboards along the 10 freeway around Palm Springs during Coachella to advertise his fourth studio album Utopia, which HipHop24-7 reported is dropping in June.
