Travis Scott has broken the all-time concert attendance record at Allianz Stadium following his sold-out shows in Sydney.
The American rapper, 33, performed two consecutive shows on Thursday and Friday at the stadium located in Moore Park.
The Allianz Stadium seats 45,500, with a maximum capacity of 55,500.
Tens of thousands of fans flocked to the event to see Scott perform his hits such as Sicko Mode, Fien and Nightcrawler.
During Friday night’s show, the American star brought out The Weeknd and sang Circus Maximus, Pray 4 Love, Skeletons and Wake Up.
But it was Thursday’s concert that turned dark as horrific footage captured the moment a reveler was thrown to the ground and knocked out in the mosh pit.
The clip was filmed by a spectator from Scott’s Circus Maximus tour in on October 17.
In the video, Scott had already taken the stage when a group of men standing in the back of the general admissions area appeared to become agitated.

A shirtless man strangled another concert-goer before violently throwing him to the ground.
“Knock him out,” one person shouted.
“Wow, World Star,” said a second, referring to a news site famous for its wrestling videos.
The victim lay motionless as other concerned attendees came to his aid.
NSW Police and NSW Ambulance told Daily Mail Australia that neither department was aware of any incident during Thursday’s show.
Social media users criticized the fact that rap concerts no longer appear to be safe.

“This is the downside of all this pit machismo,” one person wrote.
‘The worst part about going to rap shows nowadays. I hope the friend is well,” added another.
“People don’t really know how to act, that’s why we can’t have nice things,” wrote a third.
A person who was at the same concert where the alleged incident occurred said they were also in the mosh pit and that things had gotten scary at times.
“I was at the barricade and people were acting absolutely crazy. In fact, at some points I was scared, like I was a pretty small person and I was CHOKING. This is very sad and scary,” they wrote.
Others who attended Scott’s second concert in Sydney on Friday night echoed the experience.
‘I was also on a barricade and (was) doing my best not to crush the two really short girls next to me. It was crazy on the front,” one person said.
“I was on night two and I think one of the guys calling himself the mosh pit creator had his front teeth knocked out,” a second wrote.
‘These things are very dangerous. I really feel sorry for the girls that were there.
Attendees at Scott’s sold-out concert in Sydney were also turned away on Friday night.
The incident took place in the back of the general admissions area and mosh pit and was filmed by a passerby.
Several disgruntled ticket holders who attended the show expressed their frustrations after several eager fans were denied entry over their choice of clothing.
Addressing the matter on the Tea Time Facebook group, one attendee asked why people were denied entry to the concert, as the stadium does not have a dress code in place according to its entry conditions.
‘Why does Travis Scott reject people because of what they wear?’ the poster asked. “Just curious, that’s all.”
When a fan asked what they were wearing, the poster noted that those denied entry were dressed in “sports team jerseys and motorcycle patches.”
The wearing of patches associated with motorcycle gangs is illegal on licensed premises in New South Wales.
In the comments, several other members of the group shared their experiences entering the concert.
Scott’s concerts have gained a notorious reputation since nine people were crushed to death by the crowd at his Astroworld Festival in November 2021.
One user claimed that a ticket holder was “rejected for wearing all-black clothing.”
Scott was in Sydney for two nights promoting his latest album and will tour the east coast next week.
He still has two concerts scheduled in Melbourne on Tuesday and Wednesday, to be followed by a final show in Brisbane on Saturday.
Scott’s concerts have earned a notorious reputation for their rowdy crowds since a fatal incident killed several attendees in Houston, Texas, in 2021.
The Astroworld Festival killed nine concertgoers in Houston, Texas, on November 5, 2021.
The county medical examiner said the deaths were caused by compression asphyxiation, meaning people had suffocated in the crowd packed into the mosh pit.
Scott was cleared of any wrongdoing and the deaths were ruled an accident.
