Also Utopia will be Scott’s first album following the 2021 Astroworld music festival in Houston, which police called a “mass casualty incident” after eight people died and others suffered injuries.
Back in May, Scott previewed Utopia for members of the Houston Astros in their locker room. Also billboards teasing the album appeared in California around the time of Coachella last year.
Also immediately before Astroworld, Scott released the songs “Escape Plan” and “Mafia.”
