Kendrick Lamar will perform the 2025 Super Bowl halftime show

The "Not Like Us" rapper previously performed during the 2022 Super Bowl halftime show alongside a star-studded lineup.

Kendrick Lamar is bringing the Grand National Tour with SZA to State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, on Tuesday, May 27, 2025.

State Farm Stadium is one 19 stadiums announced so far for the Grand National Tour, presented by Live Nation, pgLang and Top Dawg Entertainment.

This is Lamar's first metro Phoenix concert since 2022, when the Big Steppers Tour played Footprint Center in downtown Phoenix in support of his "Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers" album. In 2018 he brought the Top Dawg Championship Tour to Ak-Chin Pavilion (now called Talking Stick Resort Amphitheatre) in Phoenix.

The Grand National Tour is in support of “GNX,” a surprise release that topped the Billboard album chart in late November, Lamar's fourth consecutive release to top that chart.

This week, five singles from the album occupy the top five spots on Billboard’s Hot 100. Lamar joins Taylor Swift, Drake and the Beatles as the only artists in the history of the Hot 100 to do so.

SZA headlined Footprint Center last year in support of "SOS," a second album that topped the charts and made the rounds of year-end critics’ lists, from BPM to Consequence and Brooklyn Vegan. The album also sent five singles to the Top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100, including the chart-topping "Kill Bill," which went five times platinum.

She’s also featured on Lamar’s new single, “Luther,” which has peaked for now at No. 3 on Billboard’s Hot 100.
