BBG News

American rapper Kendrick Lamar is bringing his Grand National tour to Australia.

The artist known for “Not Like Us” has scheduled two main performances in Melbourne and Sydney for December, providing Australian fans with an exciting early holiday gift.

The award-winning celebrity is scheduled to perform at Melbourne’s AAMI Park on the 3rd of December, followed by a show at Allianz Stadium in Sydney on the 10th of December.

On a typical Wednesday, the promoter, Live Nation, shared news about the upcoming tour of the artist known for his hit single “Alright” in Australia via their Instagram account.

Fans are encouraged to act fast! The Vodaphone pre-sale begins on June 12, and the Live Nation pre-sale starts from June 13.

The announcement generated quite a bit of chatter among fans.

Many found it disappointing that the Australia tour leg consisted of just two shows, along with the short timeframe between the announcement and the presale.

‘2 shows isn’t a tour and presale 48 hours from an announcement is ridiculous,’ one fan offered.

One person commented: ‘It’s so impressive, so patriotic! A story of two cities,’ while another said: ‘Get ready: Here comes news about Perth.’

One spectator noticed a possible scheduling oversight, as R&B legend Usher is set to perform in Sydney on the very same evening as Kendrick.

‘Same day as usher too wtf, this is not a national tour with only two cities??’ they wrote.

There was also a lot of positivity, as many people showed enthusiasm for the superstar’s concerts at Australian stadiums.

Or, in a more conversational style:

People weren’t just complaining; there were plenty who were really excited about the superstar’s gigs at Aussie stadiums!

One enthusiastic fan exclaimed, “It’s taking place! Everyone remain composed!”, reflecting the feelings of many others.

Despite some being disappointed with only two scheduled performances, Kendrick Lamar is far from taking it easy during his trip to Australia.

It emerged last month that the rapper is scheduled to lead the highly-anticipated comeback of touring festival Spilt Milk.

Last month, it became known that the rapper will be the main act for the eagerly awaited revival of live music festival Spilt Milk.

The rapper’s participation as headliner for the long-awaited touring event Spilt Milk was announced last month.

An impressive array of artists such as Sarah Landry, Dominic Fike, Schoolboy Q, d4vd, Nessa Barrett, Sofia Isella, Skin On Skin, sombr, Rebecca Black, The Rions, South Summit, and numerous others will also be part of the lineup.

Festival fans took to social media to issue their joy over the impressive lineup.

As a devoted supporter, I’d express my enthusiasm by saying, “You truly merit the most heartfelt hug!” Another follower might exclaim something like, “I’m overwhelmed with joy and emotion, shouting, crying, and feeling ecstatic to the max!

1. One exclaimed enthusiastically: “Wow, you truly exceeded expectations with this! I’m so proud,” as another labeled it as one of the finest Australian festival lineups in recent history.

2. One burst out excitedly: “You really knocked it out of the park on this one; bravo! I’m feeling proud,” while another raved that it was one of the best recent Australian festival lineups.

3. The first individual exclaimed with excitement: “This is outstanding, you truly excelled yourself!” The second declared it as a standout in recent Australian festival lineups.

4. One person couldn’t help but express their delight: “You really outdid yourself here! I’m so impressed,” while another called it the most impressive Australian festival lineup they’d seen in a while.

5. The first individual was overjoyed: “Wow, you truly exceeded my expectations!” The second praised it as one of the top-notch Australian festival lineups in recent memory.

‘This is THE LARGEST Lineup I have seen for an Australian festival in YEAAARSS,’ they exclaimed.

‘Ya’ll really waited a year to take GOAT status like that huh?’

Many people advised organizers to carefully consider where to position Kendrick and Doechii in the proposed lineup, to ensure a harmonious event.

One fan requested, “Please don’t play Kendrick and Doechii simultaneously,” to which the organizers responded confidently, “There will be no conflicts between their sets.

The celebration begins in Ballarat on December 6, then shifts to Perth’s Claremont Showground on December 7.

First, it will head towards Canberra, arriving there on December 13. After that, it will move to the Gold Coast on December 14.

Fans of Kendrick Lamar shouldn’t wait any longer to grab tickets for his upcoming stadium shows, as all concerts, except the one in Perth, have already been sold out.
