Travis Scott‘s last North American night in UTOPIA was bound to be a special one. For La Flame’s one-night-only MetLife Stadium takeover, he transported a sold-out arena of over 80,000 fans far away from New Jersey and straight to his utopian far-away galaxy.

One Night Only in Utopia was an otherworldly affair, filled with a career-spanning setlist – Days Before Rodeo, Rodeo and ASTROWORLD included – and a stellar lineup of special guests. We’ve rounded up some of the highlights below.

The Slingshot in the Pit

La Flame took ride or die to a whole new meaning last night. While it wasn’t the Ferris wheel from across the street’s American Dream Mall, the rapper slapped a slingshot ride on the pit’s edge, with fans lining up the entirety of the show to get shot in the air above the crowd – just like the consistent fireworks included throughout the set.

Sheck Wes Performs “Mo Bamba”

Scott performing “Mo Bamba” solo would’ve been enough to make the crowd go crazy, but the rapper didn’t stop there, actually bringing out Sheck Wes to bring it to a whole new level. “Oh! F*ck! Sh*t! B*tch! / Young Sheck Wes and I’m getting really rich,” the duo screamed, the stadium floor literally shaking throughout the song.

Playboi Carti Pops Out for One of Seven “FEIN”s

Attendees were placing bets on how many “FEIN”s MetLife would get. The “FEIN” count ended up clocking in at seven, with six “FEIN”s played consecutively and one more thrown in towards the end of the setlist. The standout “FEIN,” without a doubt, had to be the one in which Playboi Carti stepped out. “King Vamp,” Scott yelled, the ground once again quaking and fire erupting from the volcanic set.

Future Joins for “Type Sh*t”

The rage didn’t stop with Carti. Fresh off MIXTAPE PLUTO, Future showed out right after Scott and Carti ran back “FEIN,” the trio turning up for their fan-favorite WE DON’T TRUST YOU track “Type Sh*t.”

Quavo Closes Out From Backstage

La Flame closed out with the classic “TELEKINESIS,” bringing out Quavo as he did during his one-night-only DAYS BEFORE RODEO Atlanta performance. However, this time around, the duo never actually came out on stage together, as Scott carried out his classic backstage performance of the cathartic cut, grabbing Quavo a few bars in to sing along to SZA‘s verse beside him.
