Barcelona x Travis Scott: When Football Meets Cactus Jack

Lamine Yamal and Travis Scott After El Clasico

FC Barcelona has never been afraid to mix things up — and in 2025, they’ve done it again by teaming up with Travis Scott for a unique collaboration that combines music, football, and streetwear in a big way.

A Music-Driven Matchday

Thanks to Barcelona’s partnership with Spotify, the club continues to fuse football with music culture. For the El Clásico against Real Madrid on May 11, 2025, the team wore limited-edition jerseys featuring the Cactus Jack logo on the front — replacing the usual Spotify branding.

This marks the sixth time Barça has partnered with an artist for a matchday shirt, following previous collabs with:

  • Drake

  • Rosalía

  • Karol G

  • The Rolling Stones

  • Coldplay

But this one felt louder, edgier, and more culturally charged.

Exclusive Cactus Jack x Barça Merch

Alongside the kit, a limited collection dropped on Travis Scott’s site, including:

  • Home & away jerseys with the Cactus Jack logo

  • A throwback-style 2000/01 skeleton jersey

  • A retro zip-up anthem jacket with Nike, Cactus Jack, and Barça branding

Most items sold out instantly — and resale prices on sites like StockX skyrocketed. It wasn’t just football merch anymore — it became high-end streetwear.

Travis Scott Live in Barcelona

To celebrate the collab, Travis performed a surprise concert in Barcelona on May 10, the night before El Clásico. The venue? Les Tres Xemeneies, a local cultural hotspot.

He ran through hits like:

  • “SICKO MODE”

  • “FE!N”

  • “Goosebumps”

Even football icons like Ronaldinho and Piqué were spotted at the show, as Barcelona turned into a full Cactus Jack experience.

A Classic Clásico Win

Barcelona didn’t just show off the kit — they backed it up with an epic 4-3 win over Real Madrid.

Goal-scorers included:

  • Lamine Yamal

  • Raphinha

  • Eric García

It was a match full of energy and intensity — the perfect setting for a jersey collab with someone as explosive as Travis Scott.

Looking Ahead: A Cultural Shift in Football

This collab isn’t a one-off. It’s part of a bigger movement where football, music, and fashion are merging more than ever.

  • Nike’s retro Total 90 line is making a comeback

  • Mercurials from the early 2000s are being re-released

  • Artists are no longer just on playlists — they’re being woven into the matchday story

Expect more bold partnerships between artists and clubs in the future — because the culture is demanding it.

Final Whistle

The Barcelona x Travis Scott collab was more than a jersey drop — it was a full cultural moment. One where football met music, and style met performance.

And in 2025, it’s clear: the game is bigger than the pitch.
