Kendrick Lamar & SZA Announce UK & Europe Leg Of Grand National Tour
The dates follow a lauded Super Bowl Halftime Show and previously announced North American shows.
Kendrick Lamar and SZA shined brightly at the Super Bowl Halftime Show on Sunday, and their Grand National Tour is set to take them to stadiums across North America this spring. Now the superstar collaborators have announced a run of summer dates throughout the UK and Europe, as well as additional North American shows.
Presented by Live Nation, pgLang, and Top Dawg Entertainment, the Grand National Tour will make stops at 13 stadiums across Europe and the United Kingdom this summer. It begins July 2 in Cologne and continues through Aug. 9 in Stockholm, with stops in Paris, London, Barcelona, and Rome along the way. Additionally, four new June shows have been added to the end of the North American run in Detroit, Toronto, Hershey, and Washington, DC.
Various ticket pre-sales for the new round of shows are available Wednesday, Feb. 12 through Thursday, Feb. 13. General on sale starts Friday, Feb. 14 at 9 a.m. local time on grandnationaltour.com.
Kendrick Lamar has been continuing his dominant 2024 run into 2025. After continuing to own the zeitgeist with the November release of new album GNX—which spawned the chart-topping track “Squabble Up,” the much-memed anthem “TV Off,” and the hit SZA collab “Luther”—the rapper’s year-defining single “Not Like Us” cleaned up at the Grammys earlier this month, sweeping all five of its categories including Record of the Year and Song of the Year. His Super Bowl performance has been widely hailed for its artistry, entertainment value, and convention-challenging approach.
SZA, who featured in last weekend’s Halftime Show, is on a hot streak of her own. Her long-awaited new album LANA was one of the last blockbusters of 2024, launching the new Kendrick Lamar team-up “30 For 30” to streaming and radio ubiquity. During the day of the big game, she responded to fans’ hunger for more new tunes with a deluxe edition of LANA.
