High-powered rappers Kendrick Lamar and SZA are joining forces for the Grand National Tour, which will hit stadiums across North America in 2025, including NRG Stadium in Houston on April 23.

The tour is scheduled to go to 19 cities over two months, starting in Minneapolis, Minnesota and finishing in Washington, DC. In addition to Houston, it will stop in Arlington on April 26.

Each artist has been a top seller since their debuts. Lamar has notched four No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200, including the recently-released GNX. Both of SZA's albums made the top 3 on the Billboard 200, including SOS in 2022, and her third album, Lana, is scheduled to be released before the end of the year. Lamar will also headline the halftime show at Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans on February 9, 2025.

The duo are no strangers to partnerships: They collaborated on the 2018 song "All the Stars" which appeared on Lamar's Black Panther album. The video for the song provoked a lawsuit by artist Lina Iris Viktor for copyright infringement. Viktor claimed that elements of her painting series “Constellations” were used in the song without permission. According to Pitchfork, the suit was eventually settled.

While SZA had a memorable 2024, winning three Grammy Awards, Lamar dominated the rap landscape thanks to his feud with fellow rapper Drake.

A series of back-and-forth diss tracks resulted in several charting singles for Lamar, including the No. 1 — and now iconic — "Not Like Us." Hilariously, the only non-U.S. city on the tour is Toronto, Drake's hometown.

The last time Lamar came through town was in July 2022, when he performed at Toyota Center.

There will be an exclusive Cash App Visa Card pre-sale starting on Wednesday, December 4 at 10 am. The general on sale starts on Friday, December 6 at 10am local time on grandnationaltour.com.
