The sold-out event at Circus Maximus reportedly caused a slight earthquake and fans to be pepper sprayed. Over 60,000 fans showed up to watch the rapper perform his new Utopia album, which included a surprise appearance by Kanye West.

Travis' Rome concert also caused a non-pepper spray related injury, as it was reported by CNN that a 14-year-old was trying to sneak into the show and fell from a four meter tall wall. There's no word on the severity of their injuries. As for the reported earthquake, Romans reportedly called Italy's fire service worried that they felt an earthquake.
