Kendrick Lamar and SZA have reached another historic milestone after they wrapped up their joint tour.
According to a report Billboard published on Friday, June 27, the duo's "Grand National Tour" is the highest-grossing co-headlining tour of all time. Following its final show on June 18, the tour amassed $256.4 million after selling 1.1 million tickets at 23 shows across the U.S. and Canada. K.Dot and SZA's tour barely beat JAY-Z and Beyoncé's 2018 "On The Run II Tour" by $3 million. However, when it comes to tickets, The Carters still got them beat with 2.2 million sold.
Kendrick Lamar previously made history shortly after the tour started in April. Following the first stop in Minneapolis, Lamar and SZA brought in over $9.1 million and racked up even more after they invaded the NRG Stadium in Houston. They earned $9.4 million that night, which made Lamar the first rapper to earn over $9 million from one concert as a headlining or co-headlining act. The "luther" artists defeated the record previously held by Eminem, who earned $9 million from a single show during his tour stop in Melbourne, Australia back in 2019.
The dynamic duo has a chance to earn even more when they bring the "Grand National Tour" overseas this summer. Kendrick Lamar and SZA will begin the European leg of their tour in Germany on July 2. They'll continue to the U.K., France, Portugal, Spain, and other European countries before heading down under to Australia in December. Check out the full list of additional tour dates below.
