Kendrick Lamar is expanding his highly successful Grand National Tour with new dates in Australia, marking his return to the country since his 2022 Big Steppers Tour. According to Billboard, Kendrick will headline stadium shows at Melbourne’s AAMI Park on December 3 and Sydney’s Allianz Stadium on December 10.
In addition to these headline concerts, Kendrick is also set to perform at the star-studded Spilt Milk Festival, which will take place across several Australian cities including Ballarat, Perth, Canberra, and the Gold Coast between December 6 and 14. The festival lineup features notable artists such as Doechii, Schoolboy Q, Dominic Fike, Rebecca Black, and more, making it one of the most anticipated music events of the year.
Fans should note that Kendrick’s co-headliner for the rest of the Grand National Tour, SZA, will not be joining him for the Australian leg.

Their partnership on the tour has been a major hit, breaking multiple records and showcasing their incredible chemistry on stage.
This announcement comes on the heels of Kendrick Lamar’s triumphant night at the 2025 BET Awards, where he took home several honors including Best Male Hip Hop Artist, Album of the Year for GNX, Best Collaboration for “luther,” and Video of the Year for “Not Like Us.” During his acceptance speech for Album of the Year, Kendrick expressed his gratitude to BET and the fans, saying, “I ain’t been here in a long time, but I always kept it in my heart. BET always makes sure it’s representing the culture right. I’ll always give my heart to BET.” He also gave a shoutout to SZA and encouraged fans to catch their ongoing tour.
With the addition of these Australian dates and the Spilt Milk Festival appearance, Kendrick Lamar continues to build momentum, delivering one of the most dynamic and critically acclaimed tours of the year.
