Kendrick Lamar and SZA kicked off their highly anticipated Grand National Tour on April 19, 2025, at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, delivering a dynamic and immersive experience that captivated fans. The concert featured a 52-song setlist, showcasing both artists’ extensive catalogs and their collaborative chemistry.
Lamar opened the show with a dramatic performance of “Wacced Out Murals,” emerging from his signature black Buick, setting the tone for the evening. SZA’s set was visually stunning, incorporating insect-themed visuals, including a praying mantis video during “Kill Bill.” Despite a near-mishap during “Diamond Boy (DTM),” where a dancer stumbled, SZA gracefully recovered, maintaining the show’s momentum.
The duo’s collaborations, such as “30 for 30,” “Doves in the Wind,” and “All the Stars,” were highlights, demonstrating their seamless synergy. The concert concluded with the debut live performance of “Gloria,” leaving the audience in awe.
This tour marks a significant milestone for both artists, being their first stadium tour. With dates across North America and Europe, the Grand National Tour promises to be a landmark event in contemporary music.
