Breaking Eminem's concert record, sneaking a diss at Drake, and more: Details about Kendrick Lamar's latest tour explored
Kendrick Lamar's Grand National Tour commenced on April 19, 2025, in Minneapolis, Minnesota. As per HipHopDX's report on April 21, 2025, the first night of Lamar's tour broke the record of the highest-grossing rap concert previously held by Eminem.
As per Touring Data, the opening night of Lamar's Minneapolis concert grossed over $9.1 million from over 47,000 fans at an average ticket price of $192.70. The first concert of Kendrick Lamar's Grand National Tour superseded Eminem's record from his 2019 concert in Melbourne, Australia.
Additionally, Lamar's Minnesota concert made headlines owing to a sneaky diss to his rival Drake in the form of a pre-recorded skit. Before performing Not Like Us, Lamar played the recording of a skit wherein he sits down for deportation with a lawyer, seemingly hinting at Drake's diss track against Universal Music Group.
The skit featured February 9, 2025, as the date, the same date Kendrick Lamar performed the diss track at the Super Bowl. Drizzy recently cited Lamar's Super Bowl halftime performance in his amended lawsuit. At that point in the skit, Lamar says, "I don't keep up with dates."
The skit also mentions a line from Drake's diss track Family Matters wherein the lawyer asks, "Does this ring a bell? Drop, drop, drop, drop." In addition to his Grammy-winning diss track, Lamar also performed Euphoria, HUMBLE, Swimming Pools, Money Trees, Squabble Up, and Alright during the Minnesota concert.
Kendrick Lamar's Grand National Tour, co-headlined by SZA, has already commenced and is scheduled to conclude on August 9, 2025, in Stockholm, Sweden. The tour will cover 39 cities across Europe and North America.
