Kendrick Lamar and SZA kicked off their 'Grand National Tour' on April 19, 2025, at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, setting a new record for a rap concert with a gross of $9,124,989. The sold-out show had 47,354 attendees, with tickets averaging $192.70.
This figure surpasses Eminem's previous record of $8.7 million from his 2019 Melbourne show, making Lamar the first hip-hop artist to exceed $9 million in single-show revenue. The Minneapolis concert marked the largest audience for both Kendrick Lamar and SZA outside of a festival setting.
The 'Grand National Tour' continues across North America and Europe, with upcoming shows in various cities. The tour is in support of Lamar's sixth studio album GNX (2024) and SZA's first reissue album Lana. It consists of 39 shows across North America and Europe and is scheduled to conclude on August 9, 2025, in Stockholm, Sweden.
