We gon’ be alright. Actually, we gon’ be more than alright because Kendrick Lamar is bringing his sold-out Grand National Tour to Australia in December. When Spilt Milk dropped the impressive line-up for its 2025 comeback, Kendrick fans across the nation went wild. The multi-Grammy-winning rapper will hit the stage with global superstars like Doechii, Dominic Fike and Schoolboy Q as the festival tours the country. Then, he’ll perform solo shows in Sydney and Melbourne – woohoo! Here’s everything you need to know about getting Kendrick Lamar tickets.
When is Kendrick Lamar’s Australian tour?
It’s time to get wild on a Wednesday! The rap icon will bring his Grand National Tour to two Aussie cities:
- Melbourne’s AAMI Park – Wednesday, December 3
- Sydney’s Allianz Stadium on Wednesday, December 10
This will mark the first time Lamar has performed in Australia since his 2022 The Big Steppers Tour.

How much are Kendrick Lamar tickets in Australia?
Exact ticket prices are yet to be released, but we don’t expect them to come cheap. Real committed Kenfolk can get in on the VIP packages – which include premium reserved seats and VIP merch designed by Kung Fu Kenny himself (the prices for those packages are also currently under wraps).

DJ Mustard has joined Lamar as the supporting act on the US and European legs of his Grand National Tour. However, the rapper hasn’t revealed who will be his opening act in Australia yet.
Where else is Kendrick Lamar playing in Australia?
As part of Spilt Milk, Kendrick will perform in Ballarat, Perth, Canberra and the Gold Coast. His Grand National Tour is a more refined affair, with only two shows currently confirmed – one in Sydney and one in Melbourne – but we can cross our fingers that he’ll drop more dates soon.
