2025 has been a big year for Kendrick Lamar. Aside from delivering one of the best Superbowl half-time performances of all time, the record-breaking rapper swept the Grammys floor with five wins, adding to the five he took home at this year’s BET awards on Monday. So when his Grand National tour was first announced in February, local audiences were left wondering if Kendrick Lamar would tour Australia after all.
Now we have our answer with the Pulitzer-prize winner announcing a slew of solo shows fresh off the heels of his Spilt Milk Festival lineup addition.
Anyone who’s been lucky enough to witness Lamar’s inimitable stage presence in the past will attest to his ability to captivate an audience, and his upcoming shows are already set to deliver the goods – and then some.
Following sold out stints across North America, Europe and the UK, Kendrick Lamar will bring his Grand National tour to Australia this December and there’s no way we’re missing out on tickets.
Here’s everything we know about the Kendrick Lamar 2025 Australia tour, including dates, venues, ticket release and presale info, and how to secure your seat for what’s set to be one of the most coveted shows of the year.
When Will Kendrick Lamar Tour Australia?
The Kendrick Lamar Grand National Australia tour is confirmed for 2025 with initial dates set for December.
As it stands, the current schedule looks like:
- December 3, 2025: Melbourne, Victoria, AAMI Park
- December 10, 2025: Sydney, New South Wales, Allianz Stadium
While we know that most artists – especially ones as big as Kendrick Lamar – might start off with a modest lineup of scheduled performances, there’s a high likelihood that demand will call for more dates to be added over the next few months.

Who Will Kendrick Lamar Tour With?
Sadly for us, SZA will not be making her way down under for the Grand National tour. However, with the solo shows taking place around the same time as Lamar’s Spilt Milk dates, there’s a high chance he’ll be bringing another festival favourite along for the ride.
