Kid Cudi has hinted at the possibility of a full tour in Australia after his recent festival appearances, marking his first return to the country in over a decade. The acclaimed Cleveland-born rapper and singer expressed excitement about the response from fans during his performances at both the Wildlands Festival and Beyond The Valley, leading him to consider a headline tour.
During a video shared on his Instagram Story on January 3, 2024, Cudi reflected on his experience in Australia and New Zealand, stating, “This whole trip… was f—ing epic.” He took a moment to thank his fans for their enthusiastic support, noting how meaningful it was to witness audiences “losing their s—t to every song” and “singing every word.” Cudi assured fans of his return, declaring he had already begun “planting the seeds for a little tour down under.”
Festival Highlights and Future Plans
Cudi’s performances were part of the Wildlands Festival, which took place on January 1, 2024, at the Brisbane Showgrounds. The event featured a star-studded lineup, including acts like Dom Dolla and Addison Rae, as well as other prominent artists such as Chris Stussy and 070 Shake. Following Brisbane, the festival moved to Arena Joondalup in Perth for a January 3 show.
Cudi’s return to Australia was particularly noteworthy as he participated in Beyond The Valley, which celebrated its landmark 10th anniversary. The festival, held at Barunah Plains, Victoria, sold out instantly and welcomed an impressive 40,000 attendees. Cudi’s performance contributed to the festival’s vibrant atmosphere, which also included memorable moments like Dom Dolla ringing in the New Year and Rae making her festival debut.
While no specific dates or tour routes have been confirmed, fans are already buzzing with anticipation for Cudi’s full tour. He teased that when he returns, he plans to deliver a comprehensive setlist featuring “all the smashes, all the deep cuts and some new s—t.”
Cudi’s recent appearances signal a renewed connection with Australian audiences, who have long awaited his return for a full headline show. The enthusiasm surrounding his performances and the potential for a tour reflects both his enduring popularity and the growing demand for his music in the region.
