Kendrick Lamar & SZA’s Grand National Tour (GNX): A Dual Legacy in Motion

When two of music’s most influential voices team up, history follows. Kendrick Lamar and SZA’s Grand National Tour — nicknamed the GNX Tour — turned stadiums into storytelling arenas in 2025.

The tour launched at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, where Kendrick made history as the first rapper to gross over $9 million in a single headlining show. From there, they stormed across North America with shows in Houston, Atlanta, Los Angeles, Seattle, Chicago, and Toronto, before taking the stage internationally.

Setlists blended Kendrick’s hard-hitting catalog (HUMBLE., DNA., Swimming Pools, m.A.A.d city) with SZA’s soulful anthems (Love Galore, The Weekend, Broken Clocks). Together, they lit up the night with All the Stars, reminding audiences why their chemistry has always been electric.

The GNX Tour also shattered records, quickly becoming the highest-grossing co-headlining tour of all time. In Seattle, more than 60,000 fans filled Lumen Field, making it one of the most attended rap shows in history. Critics hailed the balance of raw lyricism, cinematic staging, and intimate crowd moments that defined the run.
