“The Man On The Moon” is arena-bound this year.
Kid Cudi just announced his 2026 ‘Rebel Ragers Tour’ that will send him to arenas, amphitheaters, pavilions, parks and music centers all over North America from April through June.
Midway through the run, the Grammy winner has three New York and New Jersey gigs planned. They’re scheduled to take place at:
Madison Square Garden
New York, NY
Saturday, May 30
Freedom Mortgage Pavilion
Camden, NJ
Tuesday, June 2
Empower Federal Credit Union Amphitheater
Syracuse, NY
Monday, June 8
On select dates, the “Happy Gilmore 2” actor will be joined by big name special guests like M.I.A., Big Boi, A-Trak, me n ü and Dot Da Genius.
This run will be Kid Cudi’s first official trek since 2024’s cancelled ‘Insano Tour’ that he called off due to a broken heel bone that he suffered when jumping off the stage at Coachella.
In the year and change since, the 41-year-old Cleveland native has performed 11 concerts. At his longest show, he delivered 21 songs at Budapest’s Óbudai-Sziget on Aug. 8, according to Set List FM. Notable tracks that made the cut include “Pursuit of Happiness,” “Day ‘n’ Nite,” “Memories,” “Mr. Rager,” and, of course, “Man on the Moon.”
On top of the songs listed above, fans can likely expect to hear songs from Cudi’s recently-released 11th studio album “Free.”
“What ‘Free’ ultimately proves is that Kid Cudi has become less a musician and more a prism, connecting genres, moods, and even decades of influence into something that only makes sense under his name. “Riff Magazine wrote in a 3.5-star review of the record.
“…Cudi remains an anomaly: uninterested in chasing relevance, yet constantly setting new coordinates for where the culture might drift next.”

Kid Cudi new music
On Aug. 22, 2025, Kid Cudi released his 11th studio album “Free.”
The record starts small. So small in fact that you can hear nary a sound until 20 seconds in on the opening track “Echoes of the Present” (truth be told, I turned my headphones up because I thought I was missing something).
Then, a haunting, melodic score that wouldn’t sound out of place in a drama takes hold. Around the two-minute mark, a beat drops. Cudi is back.
From there, the album ranges from anthemic rangers (“Neverland,” “Mr. Miracle,” “Grave”) that marry Hip-Hop and stadium rock to subdued, introspective lo-fi jams (“Opiate,” “Deep Diving,” “Ashes”) to radio-friendly pop-rap (“Truman Show,”
“Submarine” may be the true standout here, though.
Transforming from a trippy, transcendent instrumental into a hypnotic bop with a singalong hook is a feat in and of itself. The fact that this minor masterpiece is buried deep within the record is just wrong. Seek this one out now and prepare for bliss.
To hear for yourself, you can find “Free” here.
Don’t bail on the record early; otherwise, you’ll miss the punchy “Past Life,” slinky “Stargazing” and raw “Salt Water.” They’re all wonderful in their own way.
Kid Cudi special guests
