On the night of Sunday, June 7, 2026, hours after the Monaco Grand Prix, Travis Scott climbed onto the stage at Lilly's Club in Monte Carlo while John Summit was still playing, fan videos show. The night had been billed as a shared show by the two artists. The next day, Summit said his show had been shut down.
A shared bill on Grand Prix night
The party was listed as "John Summit x Travis Scott" at Lilly's Club Monte Carlo, on Avenue des Spélugues, from 11 PM to 5:30 AM. On a poster, an "x" between two names usually means a shared bill: two headliners on the same night. Billboard described it the same way. The public listing gave no set times (the planned start and end of each performance), and we found no official schedule for the night.
One detail some reports got wrong: Monte Carlo is in Monaco, an independent city-state, not in France.
What the videos show
Fan videos spread online on June 8. As described by Billboard and MusicTech, the clips show Scott reaching the stage area while Summit is still mixing. He climbs over the DJ equipment and starts performing for the crowd as the music plays on. Another clip shows a packed stage, with people pushing toward Summit and his production director stepping in.
EDM.com and EDM Identity both wrote that Scott reportedly arrived about two hours late. We found no official timeline from the club or either artist's team, and EDM House Network noted that no public set-time breakdown confirmed when the handover was meant to happen. What is documented is how it ended: Summit's set stopped early.
What John Summit said
Summit posted about the night on June 8, on X and in an Instagram story. Without naming anyone, he wrote that his "show got shut down due to another artist showing up late and forcing his way onto the stage," and thanked the fans who came "to dance and have a good time."
EDM Identity reported that his Instagram story used Scott's 2023 song "TOPIA TWINS" as its audio. Summit also posted footage of his hit "Go Back" from the set, captioned "I wanna go back (onstage to finish my performance)," and thanked his production director for "holding it down during the chaos."
The reaction
According to EDM House Network, many people criticized the interruption and what they saw as a lack of respect for the DJ who was playing, and fans argued about set-time etiquette and who controls the booth when big names share a night. TMZ and EDM.com reported that Summit's production director later promoted Summit's next Ibiza show on Instagram with a caption saying Scott would not be there.
Billboard and TMZ both said on June 8 that Scott's side had not yet answered their requests for comment, and MusicTech wrote on June 11 that neither Scott nor representatives for the event had commented. As of October 16, 2026, we found no public statement from Travis Scott, his team or Lilly's Club.
Where John Summit is now
Summit placed No. 24 in the DJ Mag Top 100 DJs 2026, the magazine's yearly public vote, up 22 places (more in our Top 100 DJs 2026 story). On October 1 he opened his North American CTRL ESCAPE arena tour, named after his second album, at the State Farm Center in Champaign, Illinois, home of the university where he studied accounting, The Daily Illini reported. His official site lists dates through a December 12 show at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.
On October 6, he announced a European leg for February 2027: eight dates, from COS Torwar in Warsaw on February 11 to The O2 in London on February 27, with Brussels, Amsterdam, Berlin, Cologne, Zurich and Paris in between.
What it means for DJs
You do not need to play Monaco for this to matter. Shared bills, guest appearances and late arrivals happen at every level, from a bar night to an arena. Whatever happened behind the scenes at Lilly's Club, a few habits make a night like this less likely, and easier to handle if it happens. This is general advice, not legal advice.
- Get set times in writing. A poster tells fans who is playing, not who plays when. Ask the promoter for the start and end time of every set, plus the changeover (the few minutes when one act hands the decks to the next), and keep that message.
- Agree the running order, and the "what if". The running order is the sequence of acts for the night. Ask what happens if an act is late: do they get a shorter slot, does the DJ on stage keep playing, and who decides?
- Talk about guests before the show. If a guest MC (a host or rapper on the mic), a singer or a surprise act may join a set, agree when they come on, how they are introduced and whose set it is at that moment.
- Know who runs the stage. Find the stage manager or your promoter contact before you play, and ask who is allowed in the booth. Clear access rules protect you, your gear and the crowd.
- Prepare for a longer or shorter set. Keep 20 to 30 minutes of extra music ready in case the next act is late, and know your best closing track in case you are asked to wrap up early.
- If it goes wrong, stay safe. Do not fight over the decks. Step back, let the stage manager and security handle it, then talk it through with the promoter afterward. For fees or contracts, ask your agent or a lawyer.
