Grammy Award-winning rapper and songwriter Kid Cudi will return to Connecticut in summer 2026, bringing his newly announced Rebel Ragers Tour to The Meadows Music Theatre on Wednesday, June 3.

Produced by Live Nation, the expansive North American tour spans more than 30 cities and features special guests M.I.A., Big Boi, A-Trak, me n ü and Dot Da Genius across select dates. The Hartford stop places Cudi among a growing list of major artists slated to perform at the outdoor venue during the 2026 season.

The Rebel Ragers Tour is designed as a career-spanning live experience, highlighting Cudi’s evolution from early breakthrough tracks such as “Day ’N’ Nite” and “Mr. Rager” to later fan favorites that have defined his influence across hip-hop and alternative music. The setlist will also include material from his latest release, Free, along with recent standouts including the viral track “Maui Wowie.”

Tickets will be available beginning with an artist presale Tuesday, Jan. 27, at 10 a.m., followed by Citi and Mastercard presales starting at 11 a.m. that same day. Additional presales will take place throughout the week ahead of the general on-sale, which begins Friday, Jan. 30, at 10 a.m. via LiveNation.com. A range of VIP packages will also be offered, including premium seating, meet-and-greet opportunities and exclusive merchandise.

In addition to his music career, Cudi — born Scott Mescudi — continues to expand his creative footprint. He is a New York Times bestselling author for his memoir Cudi, recently made his stand-up comedy debut in Santa Monica, and is preparing to launch his first visual art exhibition, Echoes of the Past, in Paris.

As part of the tour, $1 from every ticket sold will be donated to The Big Bro Foundation, which supports and empowers youth, particularly Black youth, facing mental health challenges.
