LOS ANGELES — As comebacks go, it was dark, noisy — and brief.
Thirty-seven minutes into Travis Scott's headlining performance Saturday night at this weekend's Rolling Loud California festival, his sound abruptly cut out in the middle of his signature song, "Sicko Mode." People close to the main stage (and its monitors) could still hear him, kind of, as could those watching the festival's popular livestream, which is why Scott finished "Sicko Mode" and did a bit of his hit "Goosebumps" before walking offstage.
But to most of the tens of thousands at Rolling Loud, which took place on the grounds of Hollywood Park next to Inglewood's SoFi Stadium, the 31-year-old rapper known for his raucous sound and his rowdy presentation had suddenly become a guy jumping around in virtual silence.
