Metro Boomin takes his show on the road to Egypt later this month. On Tuesday, the “Young Metro” rapper announced that he has booked a concert at the Great Pyramids complex in Giza, Egypt on April 30.
“In other news I'm doing a show at the Pyramids in Giza [three head exploding emoji],” Boomin wrote alongside an image of the show's poster, which depicts the MC rocking a black jacket while posing in front of an image of the three pyramids and the Sphinx. tickets for the 18+ show are available here now. The Giza Complex, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, consists of the Great Pyramid, as well as the Pyramids of Khafre and Menakaure, as well as other pyramids and the Great Sphinx.
The Pyramid Complex has been the site of many shows over the years, including the famous 1978 Grateful Dead three-concert series that was later released as a live album Rocking the Cradle: Egypt 1978. Shakira played a show for around 100,000 fans at the complex in 2007.
The Metro concert comes just under a year after Travis Scott tried to book a concert at the Pyramids, which he ultimately canceled due to what producer Live Nation called “complex production issues.”
Rapper/producer Boomin is riding high at the moment after his Future and Kendrick Lamar single “Like That” debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, marking Boom's first Hot 100 chart-topping artist , after two as an artist writer and producer; the song is Future and K-Dot's third Hot 100 leader each. The single was one of five from Future and Metro's joint album, We Don't Trust You, which debuted in the top 10; the album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 album chart.
