Kendrick Lamar and SZA are set to embark on a monumental journey in 2025, bringing their unique artistry to massive stages across North America, per Billboard. The Grand National Tour, presented by Live Nation, pgLang, and Top Dawg Entertainment, will span 19 stadiums, including stops in Kendrick’s home state of California and SZA’s St. Louis birthplace.

This tour announcement arrives on the heels of Lamar’s surprise album GNX, which dropped in late November. The record, featuring standout collaborations with SZA like “Luther” and “Gloria,” has dominated the Billboard charts, solidifying Kendrick’s place at the top. “Luther” debuted at No. 3, while the album itself claimed seven spots in the Hot 100’s top 10, a remarkable feat for the Compton legend.

The excitement for the tour aligns with Lamar's upcoming Super Bowl Halftime performance in February, where fans anticipate an electrifying preview of his stadium-ready energy. SZA’s inclusion adds a thrilling dynamic, as the pair’s chemistry has already glistened on iconic tracks like the Grammy and Oscar-nominated “All the Stars” and GNX’s poignant closer, “Gloria.”
