If you are a true fan you absolutely can’t pass up Cudi’s latest podcast with Dot Da Genius. I was laughing the whole time and it honestly felt like a second edition to the memoir the amount you learn.
After seeing how ticket sales are doing so poorly on many tours (the G Eazy and Logic tour, as well as Post Malones and Jelly Roll) I think we can all just take a step back and just chill with the whole "Cudi's big ego wants arena's" and all the screenshots of empty seats.
Like I said, this is an issue right now across music. People don't have the disposable income to pay $200 for a concert. Cudi still has a big fan base and it seems like the tour, although maybe not as popular as he would've liked, is still doing just fine.
I feel like a lot of our fan base came across as haters, being pissy about the venues, and wanted to come down on Cudi. For me, personally, I think I was just holding onto some legendary intimate experiences I had when he would tour on smaller venues. But the good news is that this tour isn't cancelled, and although there may be a spot or two that gets cancelled due to low sales, we are still getting the vast majority of his stops.
Let's just hope he tours again in the future or does more Cudder's Clubhouse shows. I think the Cudder's Clubhouse concept is awesome where he completely surprises everyone with a set list curated just for the show. Hopefully it's profitable enough for him to want to do it.
I guess the main point of this post was to realize that this isn't just a Cudi issue, it's across music right now, with touring becomes increasingly challenging with selling tickets.
