Kid Cudi - Kid Cudi Trashes Stage In Australia - Report

The Day 'N Nite hitmaker was the closing act at The Heatwave Music Festival in Melbourne on Sunday (22Jan12), but the event descended into chaos when he was ordered to call time on his show just halfway through his setlist, according to Aussie website ToneDeaf.com.au.

The first acts of the day had been billed to hit the stage at 2.30pm, but reports suggest bad organisation resulted in the event kicking off three hours late, severely impacting the length of subsequent performers' sets throughout the night.

Cudi was one of the main acts effected by the delay and, angered by the abrupt end to his gig, allegedly began to thrash the stage equipment, including lights and speakers, before walking offstage.

But Cudi wasn't the only one upset at the decision to cut short his show - fans showed their frustration by shouting demands for refunds and throwing plastic bottles at the stage. Attendees were also left disappointed at the festival after hip-hop star Chamillionaire was a no-show for his set.
