Additionally, ticket buyers will receive a 20% discount on official Grand National Tour merchandise purchased on-site with their Cash App Card.

The upcoming tour will be Kendrick Lamar’s first metro Phoenix after 2022 when the Big Steppers Tour stopped at the Footprint Center in downtown Phoenix in support of his Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers album. In 2018, Kendrick Lamar brought the Top Dawg Championship Tour to what was then the Ak-Chin Pavilion.

SZA also performed at the Footprint Center in 2023 during her SOS tour, promoting her critically acclaimed second album. The album topped charts, appeared on several year-end critics’ lists, and produced five Top 10 singles on the Billboard Hot 100, including the multi-platinum hit Kill Bill.

SZA was also a co-singer in Kendrick Lamar’s recent single Luther which peaked at No. 3 on Billboard’s Hot 100.


The tour begins on April 19 at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, MN, followed by stops at NRG Stadium in Houston, TX, on April 23 and AT&T Stadium in Arlington, TX, on April 26. It will conclude on June 18 at Northwest Stadium in Washington, DC. The complete list of tour dates and venues can be accessed from grandnationaltour.com.
