Kendrick Lamar & SZA Just Made Tour History — And They’re Not Done Yet

June 30, 2025

Luther Nation, rise up — Kendrick Lamar and SZA just wrapped their Grand National Tour and casually made music history while doing it. Like… we knew it was iconic, but THIS?

According to Billboard, their co-headlining tour is now officially the highest-grossing joint tour of all time — snatching the crown from none other than JAY-Z and Beyoncé’s legendary 2018 On The Run II Tour. 😳💰

The Stats Are Wild:

🎟️ 1.1 million tickets sold
💵 $256.4 million in revenue
📍 23 shows across the U.S. and Canada

🏆 Beat The Carters by $3 million (sorry Bey & Hov 😬)
📉 BUT: The Carters still hold the lead in tickets sold with 2.2 mil

So yeah, Kendrick & SZA basically dominated the North American touring scene with a setlist that sent fans into an existential spiral (in the best way).

Kendrick Broke a Record Mid-Tour, Too

After just the first show in Minneapolis, they pulled in $9.1 million. Then at Houston’s NRG Stadium, they raked in $9.4 million in ONE NIGHT — officially making Kendrick Lamar the first rapper ever to earn over $9 million from a single concert. That’s main character energy.

👋 Eminem previously held the record with $9M in Melbourne (2019). Not anymore.

And They’re Taking It GLOBAL 🌍

Yup, this isn’t over. The European leg kicks off July 2 in Germany, and they’ll be blessing fans in the U.K., France, Portugal, Spain, and more. Then in December, they’re hitting Australia, because the vibes must be shared worldwide.

If you missed them in the U.S., start planning your passport-core era.
This isn’t just a tour — it’s a cultural moment.
