Kendrick Lamar Is Bringing the Grand National Tour to Aussie Stadiums

Kendrick Lamar takes his Grand National Tour to Sydney and Melbourne this December.

It’s official—Kendrick Lamar is heading down under. After selling out shows across North America and prepping for a massive run through Europe and the UK alongside SZA, Lamar just dropped the news: Australia is next on the Grand National Tour itinerary.

Presented by Live Nation and pgLang, the Australian leg will see Kendrick land in Melbourne and Sydney this summer, with stadium shows locked in at AAMI Park and Allianz Stadium.

This is big. We’re talking a tour that’s been packing out arenas across the globe, and now it’s touching down on Aussie soil. Whether you caught wind of his Toronto double-header or the back-to-back nights in Paris, one thing’s clear—this is one of the most anticipated tours of the year, and it’s finally our turn.

Here’s the lowdown on Kendrick Lamar’s Aussie dates:

  • Melbourne, VIC – AAMI Park – 3 December
  • Sydney, NSW – Allianz Stadium – 10 December

And if you’re keen to be among the first to lock in tickets, there’s a Vodafone 48-hour presale kicking off:

What’s Next on the Grand National Tour?

Before Kendrick touches down in Australia, he’s set to blaze through major cities across Europe and the UK with SZA. Cities like Cologne, Glasgow, Amsterdam, London, and Rome are all on the map. Every date’s been pulling massive crowds, and with names like Hampden Park and Paris La Défense Arena in the mix, it’s clear Lamar’s in peak global form.

So if you’ve been waiting for the right time to catch Kendrick live, this is it. December’s locked. Two nights only. Stadium shows. Don’t sleep on it.
