Kid Cudi has hinted at the possibility of a full Australian tour after making his long-awaited return to the country for the first time in over a decade. Following his performances at major festivals earlier this month, the Cleveland-born rapper told fans he is “planting the seeds” for a headline tour across Australia.
Cudi’s much-anticipated return occurred during the New Year’s period, where he took the stage at both the Wildlands Festival and Beyond The Valley, two prominent events organized by Untitled Group. In a video shared on his Instagram Story on January 3, Cudi expressed his gratitude and excitement about the experience, stating, “This whole trip, New Zealand, Australia — this whole little tour was f—ing epic.”
He thanked fans for their enthusiastic support, noting how significant it was to witness crowds “losing their s—t to every song” and “singing every word.” Cudi added, “I’ll be back soon,” before revealing that he had already started “planting the seeds for a little tour down under.”
Festival Highlights and Future Plans
While specific dates and routing details for the potential tour have not yet been confirmed, Cudi’s comments have ignited speculation among Australian fans. Many have eagerly awaited the artist’s return for a full headline show in the region. His recent performances were part of the Wildlands Festival, which took place on January 1, 2024, at the Brisbane Showgrounds. The festival featured a diverse lineup, headlined by Cudi, Dom Dolla, and Addison Rae, along with artists such as Chris Stussy, KETTAMA, and 070 Shake.
Following the Brisbane show, the festival moved west to Arena Joondalup in Perth for a performance on January 3, 2024. The Wildlands Festival is known for its dynamic atmosphere and sold-out events, with a recent edition attracting approximately 40,000 attendees to the Barunah Plains venue during the Beyond The Valley festival, which celebrated its 10th anniversary from December 28, 2023, to January 1, 2024.
Cudi’s performances were part of a landmark celebration filled with memorable moments, including Dom Dolla counting in the New Year and Addison Rae making her festival debut. As anticipation grows for a potential Australian tour, fans remain hopeful for the opportunity to see Cudi perform a full set of his hits, deep cuts, and new material when he returns to the region.
