Ep. 59: Travis Scott’s Barcelona Takeover, The WSL’s Rebrand and Trent’s Treatment

Spotify and Travis Scott might have just delivered the best-ever collaboration between football and music. In their latest artist-led activation, Spotify partnered with Travis for a weekend takeover in Barcelona – including an exclusive live show on the eve of El Clásico and a full capsule collection drop. The VERSUS team break down why the collaboration resonated so strongly and how it could redefine future partnerships between artists and football clubs. Elsewhere, we explore the WSL’s recent rebrand – analysing the response and what it means for the league’s identity moving forward. We also dig into the discourse around Trent Alexander-Arnold following his Liverpool exit announcement and how fan treatment reflects wider issues in the game. The Future of Football is a podcast from VERSUS, bringing you closer to the people, stories and ideas shaping the future of the game we love.
