He's currently topping charts worldwide with his surprise new pgLang/Interscope album, GNX. Now Kendrick Lamar is looking to conquer the box office via his first full North American stadium tour in tandem with SZA.
The Live Nation-promoted, 19-date Grand National Tour will commence 4/19 in Minneapolis and conclude 6/18 in Washington, D.C. Tickets go on sale to the general public on Friday (12/6), though Cash App is sponsoring a presale and merch discount starting tomorrow (12/4).
Lamar played only two full shows in 2024, including a June blowout at Kia Forum, but was active on the road around the world throughout 2022-23 at arenas and festivals.
The choice of SZA as support act is apropos as the pair have collaborated on a number of each other's songs, including GNX tracks "luther" and "gloria." The former is already at 69m streams on Spotify.
Lamar's 2025 will begin with a bang on 2/9 when he headlines the Apple Music Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans.
