Travis Scott and Spotify are teaming up to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Days Before Rodeo, the project that played a pivotal role in shaping Scott’s career. To mark this milestone, Spotify is releasing a mini-documentary, Spotify Presents: ‘Days Before Rodeo‘, chronicling the impact and legacy of the mixtape. The film centers on a one-night-only concert held in Atlanta this past August, which brought fans back to the Days Before Rodeo era with all its high-octane energy.
‘Days Before Rodeo’, Scott’s second commercial mixtape, dropped in 2014 and became a defining moment for the Houston rapper. Building on the momentum of his debut Owl Pharaoh, the mixtape established Travis Scott as one of the most exciting and innovative artists of his generation. Now, a decade later, the album is celebrated as an era-defining project, and the concert film offers a chance for fans to relive the magic of that time.
The Atlanta concert in August, captured in the documentary, was a sold-out event that included a DJ set from Chase B and a surprise performance from Quavo, further fueling the excitement for Scott’s top fans. The show featured performances of fan-favorite tracks from the mixtape, including “Mamacita,” “Basement Freestyle,” “Drugs Don’t Play,” and “Skyfall.” The mini-doc aims to transport viewers back to the energy and intensity of Scott’s early concerts, where his high-energy performances and electric stage presence first began to take shape.
In a statement, Josh Peas, Spotify’s Head of Hip Hop and R&B – Artist Partnerships, highlighted the significance of Days Before Rodeo in Scott’s career. “Travis Scott’s Days Before Rodeo is an era-defining project. Leading up to the 10th anniversary of the mixtape and its release on streaming, we wanted to celebrate the moment and capture the energy it’s brought to all the ragers,” Peas said. The documentary, Peas continued, is a way to commemorate the special moment with fans while documenting the journey for years to come.
The anniversary event and documentary also come at a significant time for Scott, who has continued to dominate the music world with albums like Rodeo, Astroworld, and Utopia. Days Before Rodeo is often seen as the project that solidified his style, blending trap beats with psychedelic, genre-bending elements, and featuring major collaborations with artists like Migos, Big Sean, Young Thug, and the late Rich Homie Quan.
For fans who missed out on the live experience, the mini-documentary offers a rare glimpse into Scott’s evolution as an artist. Spotify Presents: Days Before Rodeo will be available on Spotify’s YouTube channel starting on September 18 at 6 p.m. EST. The official trailer has already been released, providing a sneak peek into what promises to be an electrifying and nostalgic journey back to one of Travis Scott’s most influential eras.
As the concert film drops, it serves as both a celebration of how far Scott has come in his career and a tribute to the fans who have been with him since the beginning. For anyone who witnessed the rise of Days Before Rodeo, or for newer listeners discovering it for the first time, this documentary encapsulates the raw energy and vision that made Travis Scott a cultural force.
