Disguise: Behind the Scenes of Kid Cudi’s Tech-Driven Tour
Step backstage with the team behind Kid Cudi’s tech-driven Rebel Ragers Tour for a candid breakdown of how an ambitious creative vision becomes a repeatable, tour-ready reality. Kid Cudi has long been a pioneer in immersive world-building, using the stage as a vessel for cosmic, multi-dimensional storytelling. To evolve this legacy even further, the Rebel Ragers Tour translates the artist's imaginative, emotional world into a tourable architecture that feels raw, immersive, and technically unprecedented.
Kid Cudi’s Tour Director, Justin Basch, alongside the creative and technical innovators at Dark Matter and Human Person, unpack the real decisions that shaped the show, from designing the visual language and building the content pipeline, to solving the on-the-road constraints that make or break immersive moments. This session offers a deep dive into the tour’s production pipeline, from the initial creative spark to the real-time content possibilities unlocked by Disguise GX 3+, as well as the execution of an ambitious XR stage setup that allowed Cudi to inhabit his visuals in real-time.
