When Travis Scott asked Rome to make some noise at the Circus Maximus on Monday, Rome cheerfully complied.
The 60,000-odd spectators jumped so vigorously that some locals panicked, thinking that an earthquake was underway.
The concert coincided with the release of Mr. Scott’s chart-topping new album, “Utopia.
The show in Rome marked Ye’s first concert appearance after a series of antisemitic remarks on social media and in interviews last year led to his expulsion from social media for a time and the loss of fashion design partnerships.
Romans, including those living some distance from the site, took to social media to lament shaking windows, beds and chandeliers.
