Wow I forgot all about him! Where’s he disappeared?!

He's been consistently releasing albums since 2010, but not all of them are brilliant. He's been trying to experiment with a more indie/rock style, but general feedback has been very poor. More recently, he's gone back to releasing pretty decent hip-hop albums.

A big highlight recently was Kids See Ghost, which was a collaboration between Cudi and Kanye. It was thought they'd tour the album because it had excellent reviews and a lot of hype, but it never materialised. 

I can't see him playing in the UK because he wasn't ever commercially successful, aside from a few singles (such as Day N Nite and Memories with David Guetta). Seems to prefer Coachella, Camp Flog Gnaw etc.

All we can do is dream!

Just had word that the announcement is infact what we feared, its likely to be a cancellation notice to come.

I can't wait for you all to apologise to me when the postponement/cancellation announcement is finally made.

There was one year (recently) it came after balances.

I don’t have time to check the thingy to be sure but I think it was the year where they couldn’t announce one of the headliners. I think it was the year with the Who.

2015 everything came late. I reckon the Who issue was probably why because they waited a long time to get confirmation re Princey boi.

You’re correct that in 2015 it came late, but as you say 2015 was a bit of an odd year. Every other year since we’ve had the April deadline the poster has dropped just before the window opened or during.

That Day N Nite tune really is an absolute banger. I forget it exists sometimes and then always get mega excited when it turns back up.

I totally agree. The only version that was in the charts in the UK was the Crookers Remix - I could see how this could make Cudi look like a one-hit-wonder this side of the ocean.

The rest of the "A Kid Named Cudi" mixtape is amazing as well. Got some great tracks on there like "Sky might fall" and "Embrace the martian".

Pursuit of Happiness was an absolute tune, always went off when generic club DJs spun that

Yeah they didn’t know for certain whether they were getting Prince as late as March 2015. Hence the uber long delay.

Recent years have shown that they like to get the poster out far before the balance week. Give it enough time to get some press I imagine.
