Now that Kendrick Lamar’s first album in five years, Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers, is available for public consumption, the artist has announced that he’ll be hitting the road for a good chunk of 2022.
Dubbed the Big Steppers tour, the trek will kick off in Oklahoma City on July 19 and hit arenas and festivals across the U.S., ending with a two-night stand at Los Angeles’ Crypto.com Arena (the arena formerly known as Staples Center). Lamar will then head to Europe and Australia, which will keep him busy through December.
Lamar’s nephew, Baby Keem, will open all dates, while Tanna Leone will support at select shows.
Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers includes guest appearances from Ghostface Killah, Portishead’s Beth Gibbons, Summer Walker, Kodak Black, Sampha, Taylour Paige and Keem. Sounwave, Duval Timothy, Pharrell Williams, Boi-1da and Lamar are among the producers.
The first tickets to the tour will be available to Cash App customers via an exclusive ticket presale. The general on-sale starts next Friday, May 20 at 12 pm local time on oklama.com
