Kid Cudi is set to bolster an already star-studded Coachella lineup after being added to the bill for weekend two of the Indio, California festival.
The “Day ‘N’ Nite” rapper took to Instagram on Tuesday (April 16) to announce that he’ll be performing in the Sahara Tent on Sunday (April 21).

Replacing Canadian singer AP Dhillon, Cudi will hit the stage at 5:10 p.m. PST and perform a roughly 40-minute set, sandwiched between performances from SPINALL and NAV.
“INSANO BOY IS COMIN [devil emoji] [fire emojis] [steaming face emojis] Who’s coming?? @coachella,” he wrote in his caption.
Tyler, The Creator, Doja Cat and Lana Del Rey headlined weekend one of Coachella last weekend.
The Odd Future founder brought out a number of special guests during his Saturday (April 13) set, including A$AP Rocky, Kali Uchis and Charlie Wilson.

Perhaps the biggest surprise of the night was Childish Gambino joining him on stage to sing the hook on “Running Out of Time.”
After their unexpected duet, Tyler jokingly admitted that he used to “hate” the Atlanta star but has since come to appreciate him both as an artist and a person.

“I used to hate that n-gga,” he said, prompting laughter from the crowd. “Seriously. I don’t know why. I gotta go to therapy to figure it out.
“Then this n-gga put this song called ‘Urn’ out. It was so undeniable, n-gga. I was at conflict with myself ’cause I’m like, ‘Fuck! How could a n-gga that I hate so much be so good?’ And now, the tables have turned and this n-gga barely returns my calls.
“Donald, I fuck with you. Thank you for putting out shit that exceeds expectations or the perception that n-ggas like us should make. I love you. Thank you for existing and thank you for coming out. Please give him another round of applause.”
Coachella will serve as a convenient warm-up for Kid Cudi’s upcoming INSANO World Tour, which he announced last month.

Featuring support from Pusha T, Jaden Smith and EarthGang, the North American leg kicks off on June 28 in Austin, Texas and wraps up on August 30 in Los Angeles.
The gang will make stops in cities such as Philadelphia, Toronto, New York, Las Vegas, San Francisco and Cudi’s hometown of Cleveland along the way.

After a six-month break, Cudder and co. will then head overseas for the European leg, which runs from February 25 to March 18, 2025.
The massive excursion comes in support of Mr. Rager’s two recent albums, INSANO and INSANO (NITRO MEGA).
