Kendrick Lamar and SZA are joining forces for the much-anticipated 2025 Grand National Tour, with tickets going on sale December 6. The duo, known for their chart-topping collaborations, will kick off the tour in Minneapolis on April 19, lighting up stadiums across the U.S. and Canada through mid-June. Stops include major cities like Houston, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, and Toronto’s Rogers Centre, adding fuel to Lamar’s ongoing feud with hometown hero Drake.
The drama between the two rappers escalated with Lamar’s surprise album GNX and the diss track “Not Like Us,” which took the music world by storm. Drake’s home city, Toronto, is now hosting Kendrick’s tour at the Blue Jays’ Rogers Centre, sparking a flurry of reactions online, as fans joked about the city’s betrayal of its most famous artist. Lamar is expected to perform his diss track live, delivering a striking message in Drake’s backyard.
Meanwhile, in Charlotte, Lamar’s May 3 tour stop coincides with the Lovin’ Life Music Festival, headlined by Gwen Stefani and the Dave Matthews Band, ensuring a lively weekend for music lovers in Uptown.
