Kendrick Lamar to perform in Toronto for first time since his feud with Drake escalated

Kendrick Lamar is coming to Rogers Centre and he’s bringing along SZA! The pair announced their upcoming 2025 Grand National Tour featuring 21 shows in North America with Toronto as the only stop in Canada.

The Toronto concert is scheduled for Jun. 12, 2025, and the news comes just one day after Billboard shared that Lamar’s new surprise album GNX debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart.

GNX seemingly came out of nowhere to fans when it was dropped on Nov. 22, 2024. 

As for SZA, the singer has shot up in fame over the last few years, earning two number one hits and 11 top 100 hits along with the title of Billboard’s Woman of the Year in 2023.

Lamar and SZA shared the news of the upcoming tour with fans in a joint post on social media writing a short but sweet caption, “grand national tour.”

The concert will be the first time Lamar is performing in Toronto, Drake’s hometown, since the two rappers reignited a feud in April of 2024.

The beef has been going on for over a decade, but a bigger fire was started when Lamar released his diss track against Drake titled Euphoria, which made mention of a Toronto Chinatown restaurant New Ho King, and took a dig at the rapper’s biracial and Canadian background.
