Alright, music lovers, let’s talk about something BIG. Kendrick Lamar and SZA are coming together for their first-ever joint tour, and they’re stopping at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, AZ, on May 27, 2025. If you’re even thinking about going, let me just say: don’t miss this. It’s going to be one of those concerts you’ll be talking about for years.
Why This Concert Is A Big Deal
Let’s start with Kendrick Lamar. I mean, come on—he’s a Pulitzer Prize-winning artist, a lyrical genius, and someone who’s redefined what hip-hop can be. From “HUMBLE.” to “Alright,” every song of his has this power that hits you right in the chest.
And then there’s SZA. She’s been ruling the R&B scene for years, and her album Ctrl? Absolute masterpiece. Songs like “The Weekend” and “Good Days” aren’t just hits—they’re emotions put to music.
Now imagine these two together on one stage. Yeah, you’re getting chills just thinking about it, right? This isn’t just a concert. It’s a moment in music history.
All About The Grand National Tour
The Grand National Tour is something fans have been begging for, especially after Kendrick and SZA dropped collaborations like “Luther” and “Gloria” on Kendrick’s GNX album. This isn’t just a regular tour; it’s a celebration of their artistry, their chemistry, and their ability to bring people together through music.
The tour covers 23 cities across North America, starting in Minneapolis and ending in Landover. Glendale’s date is right in the middle of the tour, and by then, you know they’ll have fine-tuned the show to absolute perfection.

Tickets: How To Grab Yours
Tickets are on sale now, and they start at $172. Honestly, for what you’re getting, that’s a steal. You can find tickets on platforms like Ticketmaster or through the State Farm Stadium box office.
Pro tip? Don’t wait. The LA and Toronto shows already added extra dates because demand was insane, and Glendale’s likely to sell out too.
Why State Farm Stadium Is Perfect
If you’ve never been to State Farm Stadium, let me paint you a picture. It’s massive—over 63,000 seats—but it still feels intimate when you’re there for a concert. The sound system is top-notch, and the retractable roof? Perfect for Arizona’s unpredictable weather.
Whether you’re on the floor, in the stands, or anywhere in between, you’ll have an amazing view. Plus, it’s got great food and drink options, so you won’t be stuck eating boring stadium pretzels all night.
