Utopia, the highly-anticipated upcoming album from Travis Scott, has been all but confirmed to be released on July 28. Prior to Scott's set on the GoPuff Stage at Rolling Loud Miami on July 22, "7.28" was displayed on a large screen at the back of the stage. While many took this as another hint about the album's release, Scott later confirmed it as such during his performance. Furthermore, Scott also announced that the album release would be accompanied by the premiere of a film, Circus Maximus. According to a spokesperson for Scott, Circus Maximus would be released in theaters.
The July 28 date has been hypothesized for some time, sparked by an LA billboard that pointed to that date. However, fans were left unsure if that would be the case after a series of cryptic social media posts from Scott. The rapper tweeted “Meet me here on Monday. We shall eat sooooonn" in response to a fan. This lead many people to wonder if Utopia would be coming sooner than expected. However, as was also expected, Scott's Rolling Loud set confirmed some additional details about Utopia.

Aside from the now-confirmed release date of July 28, there are a few other things we know about the release of Utopia. Firstly, there are five album covers available at release.
