Travis Scott performed ‘Astroworld’ tracks with Tame Impala‘s Kevin Parker on Saturday Night Live yesterday (October 6). Check out the performances below.

Scott released his acclaimed third LP in August. In a five-star review, NME said: “The rapper has produced a lush, complex, extraordinarily accomplished album that invites us mere mortals to peer in at his life behind the velvet rope.”

In support of ‘Astroworld’, Scott appeared as the musical guest on the huge US show, SNL.

Kevin Parker is credited as co-writer and co-producer on ‘Skeletons’, while John Mayer co-wrote ‘Astrothunder’. Album track ‘Wake Up’ was also co-produced by Mayer.

Later in the episode, Scott returned to deliver a performance of the single ‘Sicko Mode’.

Elsewhere on last night’s SNL, Pete Davidson hit out at Kanye West for his controversial appearance on last week’s show. “What Kanye said after he went off the air last week was one of the worst, most awkward things I’ve ever seen here,” he said. “And I’ve seen Chevy Chase speak to an intern.”
