Minneapolis fans, get ready—Kendrick Lamar is bringing the heat to U.S. Bank Stadium.
Rap’s reigning hater-in-chief, Kendrick Lamar, has chosen Minneapolis as the launchpad for his much-anticipated Grand National Tour. The tour kicks off on April 19, 2025, at U.S. Bank Stadium, marking a thrilling return for the Compton native and hip-hop icon.
Tickets are already generating buzz, with presale starting Wednesday, and the general public can snag their seats beginning Friday at 10 a.m. at Ticketmaster. While prices haven’t been announced yet, demand is expected to be sky-high.
A Star-Studded Event
Joining Lamar on the tour is Grammy-winning artist SZA, adding even more star power to what’s shaping up to be one of the biggest tours of the year. Fans can expect electrifying performances and the kind of artistry that has made Lamar a global phenomenon.
A New Era of Kendrick
The announcement of the tour comes hot on the heels of Lamar’s latest album, GNX, which dropped last week to critical acclaim. This marks his sixth studio album and his first since Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers in 2022. Lamar last visited the Twin Cities during that album’s tour, leaving fans eager for his return.
GNX has already sent shockwaves through the rap world, not least because of the ongoing feud between Lamar and Drake. The two rap titans have been trading blows all year, with Lamar’s diss track “Not Like Us” dominating the Billboard rap charts throughout the summer. The drama escalated further last month when Drake’s company, Frozen Moments, filed a lawsuit against Spotify and Universal Music Group, alleging inflated streaming numbers for the track.
A Super Bowl Warm-Up
If you can’t make the April 19 show, Lamar is also slated to headline the halftime show at Super Bowl LIX on February 9, 2025, in New Orleans. With a reputation for delivering unforgettable performances, the Grand National Tour promises to showcase the same high-energy, thought-provoking artistry that has defined Lamar’s career.
Don’t Miss Out
Minneapolis fans are in for an unforgettable night as Lamar kicks off what’s sure to be one of the year’s most talked-about tours. Make sure to secure your tickets early—this is a show you won’t want to miss.
