Kid Cudi is on the pursuit of happiness…and a worldwide arena tour while he’s at it.
The 40-year-old Hip-Hop icon, actor, fashion designer and filmmaker just announced he’s embarking on his North American ‘Insano Tour’ from June through August this year with special guests Pusha T, EARTHGANG and Jaden Smith.
Along the way, the “Day ‘N Nite” rapper will drop into Newark’s Prudential Center on Wednesday, July 17 and New York City’s Madison Square Garden on Tuesday, July 23.
At all shows, fans can expect to hear cuts from Cudi’s recently released 21-track record that shares a name with the tour.
“I think this album is a triumph,” Cudi told Zach Lowe in an interview. “I’ve seen a lot of people saying you can feel the happiness in the music, you can feel the joy radiating.”
“11 albums and I was still able to do something new.”
And if you want to see him deliver the hits as well as the triumphant “Insano,” tickets can be picked up as soon as today.

Kid Cudi new music
“Insano,” Cudi’s 11th studio album, dropped on Jan. 12, 2024.
The 21-track record takes Cudi down a more trap route than his previous output. However, his trademark laid back vocals keep the sound consistent with his earlier work.
After a few listens, we were most impressed with the soul-sample lead “OFTEN, I HAVE THESE DREAMZ,” dreamy yet tropical “ELECTROWAVEBABY” and nervy “GETCHA GONE.”
“FRESHIE” might be where Cudi shines most though; his chill delivery transforms into an urgent flow making for an exhilarating, head-spinning listen.
Don’t sleep on the bluesy “FUNKY WIZARD SMOKE” either. It bangs.
