Music enthusiasts, mark your calendars – Kendrick Lamar and SZA are bringing their star power to a stadium near you for the Grand National Tour in 2025. Specifically for those in St. Louis, where SZA hails from, this is more than just a concert, it's a homecoming celebration. Scheduled for June 4 at The Dome at America’s Center, the tour promises to be a significant event in the music calendar.

The duo plans to tour 19 stadiums across North America, and St. Louis is just one of the highlights. According to FOX 2 Now, the tour will kick off April 19 in Minneapolis and conclude June 18 in Washington D.C. Fans will have a chance to score their tickets early – if they're Cash App Card holders, they can look to quickly snap them up during a special pre-sale window starting on December 4. Furthermore, these lucky cardholders will get 20% off the tour merchandise, a nice little bonus to commemorate the event.

St. Louis isn't just another stop for SZA, it's where her roots are. The Grammy-winning artist made waves sporting a St. Louis Blues jersey on her album "SOS," and now she returns to her hometown with Lamar, who's fresh off his album "GNX," featuring tracks with SZA. According to KSDK, the album's release has been generating substantial buzz, adding even more anticipation for the tour's commencement.

Kendrick Lamar, a rapper renowned not just for his Grammy wins but also for his Pulitzer, has never embarked on a joint tour with SZA before, despite their shared history of collaboration. "All the Stars," their joint hit from the "Black Panther" soundtrack, was a notable success for both artists. Now, history is being made as they prepare to share the stage night after night. As stated by Rolling Stone, the pair have been close friends and collaborators for years, and this tour is set to celebrate that relationship in grand fashion. General sales for tickets start December 6 at 10 a.m. – a date and time fans will likely not hesitate to quickly mark down.

For those wanting to attend, further details and ticket purchasing information are available on the Grand National tour website. Whether you're an old fan or just discovering the magic that is Kendrick and SZA, this tour is shaping up to be one to remember – a perfect blend of talent and showmanship, set against the backdrop of North America's biggest stadiums.
