Scott Mescudi, better known to the world as Kid Cudi, was born in Cleveland, Ohio back in ‘84 and went on to completely flip the script on what hip-hop could be. He first broke out in the late 2000s with his A Kid Named Cudi mixtape, which caught the ear of hip hop giant Kanye West and launched him into the spotlight. He got signed to Kanye’s GOOD Music familia, then came Man on the Moon: The End of Day in 2009, a genre-bending classic that gave us “Day ’N’ Nite,” “Pursuit of Happiness,” and a whole new way of hearing rap. The genre became vulnerable, melodic, emotional, unfiltered, and undeniably young. From Man on the Moon II to Indicud to Passion, Pain & Demon Slayin’ and the legendary Kids See Ghosts project, Cudi has always been about pushing boundaries while speaking directly to the kids who felt a little lost. He didn’t just make songs -he made lifelines to all who were looking for a call to be different, and that’s why his fanbase rides so hard for him to this day. And that’s ALSO why we gotta see him live when he comes to the stage here with M.I.A., Big Boi, and A-Trak. 

So now here we are - all these years later, and Kid Cudi is still standing tall as one of the most important voices of his generation, ready to turn Pine Knob into one giant moon-man sing-along. You won’t wanna miss this one folks. Let’s rage.
