After the cancellation of the highly anticipated North American “Fame Kills” tour with Kanye West, Lady Gaga has announced that she will, in fact, be touring in the upcoming months. Filling the void that was once taken up by the swollen headed Kanye West will be Kid Cudi, a protégé of Kanye and the “it” guy of the hip-hop world. The duo will be performing the elaborately choreographed shows under the all encompassing tour moniker “The Monster Ball.”

Kid Cudi is riding the wave of his newly released and critically acclaimed album Man on the Moon: The End of Day. Lady Gaga will be re-releasing her much successful The Fame album under the new title, The Fame Monster, which plays into the upcoming tour title. While there won’t be the pseudo “on stage fight” that was planned for the Kanye/Gaga expedition, both artists are expected to outperform their contemporaries in what has been billed as the first “electro pop opera.”
