After headlining Buku Music and Art Project in 2016, Kid Cudi is coming back to Mardi Gras World for a performance of his own on October 17 as part of his Passion, Pain & Demon Slayin’ tour. His latest album, which shares the same name as his tour, debuted at #11 on the Billboard 200 in December 2016. Produced by Plain Pat, Mike Dean and Kid Cudi himself, Passion, Pain & Demon Slayin’ features collaborations with Andre 3000, Travis Scott, Pharrell Williams and Willow Smith.

This upcoming tour will be Kid Cudi’s first major outing since a stay in an inpatient care facility for depression and suicidal urges in October of 2016. The tour will kick off on September 30, 2017 in Philadelphia before making stops across the United States and Canada, including a headlining spot at Camp Flog Gnaw Festival in Los Angeles and a show in Kid Cudi’s hometown of Cleveland.
