Kendrick Lamar has announced a world tour alongside the release of his long-awaited fifth studio album, Mr. Morale and The Big Steppers. ‘The Big Steppers Tour’ starts July 19, with the North American leg running throughout the summer.
Mr. Morale and the Big Steppers is Lamar’s first LP since 2017’s critically-acclaimed Damn. Released on May 13, the 18-track double album is the rapper’s last with his long-time label, Top Dawg Entertainment.
Boasting an array of collaborators, including Summer Walker, Kodak Black, and Ghostface Killah, the album also features production credits from The Alchemist, Beach Noise, and Pharrell. Tanna Leone and Baby Keem, Lamar’s cousin and frequent collaborator, also feature on the album and will join him on tour for select dates.
‘The Big Steppers Tour’ begins July 19 at the Paycom Center in Oklahoma City. Tickets will go on sale on Friday, May 20. Running throughout the summer, the North American leg of the tour wraps up with two shows in Los Angeles at the Crypto.com Arena on September 14 and 15. The UK and European run will follow in the fall, with Australia and New Zealand dates to come in December.
