Kid Cudi has announced plans for a full tour of Australia following his recent performances at major festivals. The artist, who returned to Australia for the first time in over a decade, hinted at the possibility of a headline tour while expressing gratitude to fans during his festival appearances.
Cudi’s long-awaited return featured performances at the Wildlands Festival and Beyond The Valley, both produced by the Untitled Group. He shared his excitement with fans through an Instagram Story on January 3, 2024, where he referred to the trip as “f—ing epic.” The Cleveland-born rapper emphasized how meaningful it was to see enthusiastic crowds “losing their s—t to every song” and “singing every word.”
In his message, Cudi stated, “I’ll be back soon,” and revealed that he had already started “planting the seeds for a little tour down under.” Fans are eager for more details, as many have awaited a full headline show from Cudi for years.
