Travis Scott joins Spotify and FC Barcelona for El Clásico jersey collaboration
Travis Scott will even become the first artist to perform in Barcelona as part of the collaboration the evening before the El Clásico match.
Limited-Edition Cactus Jack Kit to Debut May 11, Alongside Exclusive Concert
In a striking fusion of music and football, Spotify and FC Barcelona have partnered with rapper Travis Scott to launch the club’s sixth special-edition jersey, featuring Scott’s Cactus Jack branding. The limited-edition kit will debut during El Clásico on May 11, when Barcelona faces Real Madrid, and again on May 18, worn by the FC Barcelona Femení squad in their final Liga F match.
A Collection Beyond the Pitch
In addition to the jersey, the Cactus Jack x FC Barcelona capsule collection will include:
- T-shirts and sweatshirts
- Caps and scarves
- Jackets, shorts, and a retro soccer ball
The release marks a deeper collaboration that goes beyond aesthetics. “It wasn’t just about putting Cactus Jack on a jersey,” said Travis Scott. “It’s about building something that blurs the lines between sound and sport.”

Brand Synergy and Global Reach
“This collaboration is our most ambitious to date,” said Marc Hazan, Spotify’s VP of Partnerships & Marketing. “It brings together a global music icon, one of the most watched football matches in the world, and a performance that only Spotify and FC Barcelona could make happen.”
Barcelona club president Joan Laporta emphasized the partnership’s cultural significance: “The logo change on the jersey for El Clásico shows how this alliance can spark global conversations. It helps the club connect with fans in new ways and reach audiences worldwide.”
