Ahead of the release of Travis Scott‘s hugely-anticipated Astroworld album, we’ve gathered everything you need to know to get even more excited about the album’s drop.

After releasing “Butterfly Effect” and rivaling Drake with his status as a human meme, it’s safe to say that the hype for the release of Travis Scott’s Astroworld is reaching a fever pitch.

How will he follow up his highly successful sophomore album Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight, released last year? Although Scott’s been spotted in the studio with PARTYNEXTDOOR and Tame Impala, who else did Scott link up with on his new album? When will it actually drop?

For all those details and more, read on for a rundown of everything we know so far about Travis Scott’s Astroworld.

La Flame is definitely in the studio finishing up the album.

In an Instagram post on March 6, Travis Scott shared a photo of himself posted up in the studio with the caption “[locked] in See ya later.” His photographer, RaysCorruptedMind, also posted the same image, adding that Scott is in “album mode.” Scott even posted an Instagram story where he’s listening to his new music driving around L.A.

In a Rolling Stone profile from earlier this year, Scott elaborates on the now-defunct Astroworld amusement park – “It had a Dungeon Drop, Greezed Lightnin’, Superman,” he recalls. “It was a way of life – fantasies, imagination.”
No release date has been set, but we can probably expect it to drop in 2018.
According to the album’s page on Genius, Astroworld is “slated for a 2018 release.”
At a performance in August 2017, Travis Scott said he was “going into hiding” to work on two albums – Astroworld and a collaborative project with Quavo, which was finally released as Huncho Jack, Jack Huncho at the end of December 2017.Not even Travis Scott himself knows what’s on the album aside from “Butterfly Effect”“
I don’t even know what’s going to be on it yet,” Scott explained in a recent interview with Billboard.
Astroworld might feature Kanye West, PARTYNEXTDOOR & Tame ImpalaTravis Scott worked with Kanye West on Yeezus, and the pair have been friends ever since. Scott even signed to West’s G.O.O.D. Music back in 2012.
“Kanye, he’s my buddy. When I got the chance to meet him I was so nervous. He listened to my music and thought it was cool. Two weeks later he sent me an email and I found myself on the way to Paris to take part in his Yeezus album,” he said in an interview with Numéro Homme from March.
He also mentioned West in a recent interview with Billboard: “I played him some joints. We’re always talking. We’re always working on shit. I see him every day.”
Seeing as Travis Scott collabed with Kendrick Lamar this year on “goosebumps,” it’s safe to say that a Kanye West feature on Astroworld wouldn’t be totally crazy, especially since they’re basically family now – Scott is dating Kylie Jenner and Kanye is married to Jenner’s sister Kim Kardashian.
Back in October, OVO crooner PARTYNEXTDOOR was spotted in the studio with Travis Scott, sparking rumors they’re working together on Astroworld.The ‘Astroworld’ Tour will have amusement park rides, naturally.

His ‘Bird’s Eye View’ Tour featured a giant animatronic bird, so why wouldn’t he have roller coasters on a tour promoting Astroworld – an album named after a theme park?

“I don’t know why it hasn’t been done already – I think people just don’t do shit. Who makes stages these days that are cool?” Scott explained in that Rolling Stoneinterview.
It might feature Stevie Wonder.

During an interview with Billboard this January, Travis Scott revealed his dream collaborator for the album. My next album is going to have Stevie Wonder” Scott said. “Well, I’m trying. We’re talking.”


While nothing is confirmed, Scott posted an image of himself with the musical legend on Instagram yesterday, complete with the globe emoji which the rapper has been using as shorthand for his album title.
