Kid Cudi is headed to Indio. The Coachella Festival announced on Tuesday (April 16) that Cudder will join the lineup for the second weekend of the fest on Sunday (April 21) for a 40-minute set at the Sahara Tent kicking off at 5:10 p.m. PT.

“INSANO BOY IS COMIN,” Cudi posted Tuesday night along with a picture of himself looking pensive along with the updated schedule for the final day of this year’s festival, along with the tease, “Who’s coming?? @coachella.” The day’s lineup will also include headlining sets from Doja Cat, Lil Yachty, Jhené Aiko and J Balvin, as well as spots from Reneé Rapp, Bebe Rexha, The Rose, Victoria Monét, Diplo and Tems.

Cudi last performed at Coachella in 2019, during which he ended his set with a run through the 2009 Man on the Moon: The End of Day track “Pursuit of Happiness,” which he dedicated to Mac Miller and Nipsey Hussle. That year’s set also included some of Cudi’s most beloved hits, including “Up Up & Away,” “Erase Me,” “Memories,” “Day ‘N’ Night” and “Mr. Rager.” Not for nothing, in announcing this weekend’s lineup, the official Coachella Instagram account captioned their post, “On the pursuit of happiness.”

The rapper is gearing up for the world tour in support of his ninth album, Insano, which will feature support from Pusha T, Jaden and Earthgang. The outing is slated to kick off on June 28 at the Moody Center in Austin, TX and keep him on the road through a March 2025 gig at the O2 Arena in London.

These Were Canada's No. 1 Songs and Albums in 2016

As everyone on social media yearns for a decade ago, we take a look at the landmark year for Canadian music when the Billboard Canadian Hot 100 and Canadian Albums charts were ruled by Justin Bieber, Drake, The Weeknd, Alessia Cara and more.

The year is 2016: skinny jeans are in style, Instagram photo filters are all the rage, TikTok doesn't exist and Canadian artists are ruling the Billboard charts.

A decade later, many are yearning for the recent past. Decade-old photo carousels have flooded social media feeds. Somehow, 2016 is the latest trend to take over Instagram and TikTok, nostalgically romanticizing a pre-pandemic world before AI ruled, the world, brainrot wasn't a thing and basic human rights weren’t being stripped stateside (though there was also a notable election that year).
