Days Before Rodeo is the second mixtape of the American rapper Travis Scott. It was released independently on his SoundCloud account on August 18, 2014. The mixtape features guest appearances from Rich Homie Quan, Young Thug, T.I., the 1975, Big Sean, Migos, and Peewee Longway. Production was handled by Scott himself, alongside Mike Dean, WondaGurl, Metro Boomin, DJ Dahi, Southside, Lil' C, AudioKlique, Charlie Handsome, FKi 1st, Vinylz, Allen Ritter, Anthony Kilhoffer, Lex Luger, Oz, Syk Sense, Tane Runo, and J.

For its tenth anniversary, the mixtape was released through Cactus Jack and Epic Records on streaming media on August 23, 2024.[3] A few digital vault editions of the mixtape were available exclusively on Scott's website for a short period of time and includes ten additional songs in total that did not end up appearing on its original version. With all the vault editions being combined, they feature additional guest appearances from Quavo as a solo artist and Playboi Carti. Upon the re-release of the mixtape, it debuted at number two on the US Billboard 200, moving 361,000 album-equivalent units, of which 331,000 were pure album sales.[4] In its fourth tracking week, it ascended to the top position on the chart, moving an additional 156,000 album-equivalent units, 149,000 of which were vinyl copies.[5]
