Kendrick Lamar and SZA launched their much-anticipated Grand National Tour with a 45-song performance at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis on 19 April 2025.
Drawing a crowd of approximately 60,000, the event marked the beginning of a 39-date stadium tour that positions Lamar among the rare group of rappers capable of filling such massive venues.
The opening show featured a 30-minute set by DJ Mustard, known for producing Lamar’s recent track “Not Like Us.” The main event commenced with Lamar emerging from beneath the stage in a Buick GNX, a nod to his current album GNX, starting with the track “wacced out murals.”
The concert was structured into seven acts, balancing solo performances and collaborations. Lamar and SZA alternated lead segments while joining forces on joint tracks.
Despite the dimly lit stage design, the sound quality ensured clarity for both artists’ vocals. Crowd engagement remained high throughout the 2.5-hour show, with deafening sing-alongs and widespread applause for both artists’ solo and collaborative moments.
With a total of 52 songs performed, the tour’s debut highlighted the depth of both artists’ catalogues and the scale of their joint appeal.
