Kendrick Lamar and SZA have announced their co-headline Grand National Tour will be extended to Europe and the UK this summer.
The Europe/UK tour leg will begin on July 2 in Cologne, Germany. The American leg had been previously announced and is set to begin in April and finish in August.
One stop in particular that the duo will make a stop at is Birmingham, England’s Aston Villa on July 10, 2025.
Chris Heck, President of Business Operations at Aston Villa FC, said: “Hosting artists of Kendrick Lamar and SZA’s global stature is a testament to Villa Park’s emergence as a top-tier venue for live entertainment. Our goal is to make Villa Park an unmissable stop for the biggest acts in the world while ensuring these events help strengthen Aston Villa’s ability to compete at the highest level of football. This is a new era for Villa Park, and we are just getting started.”
Kendrick Lamar, widely regarded as one of the most influential rappers of all time, and SZA, a trailblazer in contemporary R&B, are two of the most in-demand live performers on the planet: the pair have both headlined Glastonbury festival, as well as having headlined and sub-headlined Coachella respectively. Their joint performance at Villa Park promises to be a landmark event in the UK’s 2025 live music calendar.
The news about the tour follow Lamar’s Super Bowl half-time show performance of last night, which featured SZA as a guest star. The tour supports the releases of SOS Deluxe: Lana (2024), the reissue of SZA’s second album, and GNX (2024), Lamar’s latest album. It is the first all-stadium tour for both artists.
