My interest in writing grew after completing work experience at The Guardian Newspaper in London. I then studied English Literature at University, where I was the Director of Commentary at Wayzgoose Magazine, which focused on student life, arts and culture. After moving to Sydney in 2023, I became fascinated with travel journalism and the diverse number of events and activities that Sydney has to offer.

  • Kendrick Lamar Sydney show date has been announced as part of his Grand National tour.
  • He will play two headline shows in Melbourne and Sydney alongside his Spilt Milk appearances.
  • His Sydney show will be at the Allianz Stadium on December 10, 2025.

One of the biggest names in rap music just announced his return to Australia this summer, adding two more shows alongside his headlining slot at Spilt Milk.

We had a hunch that tour dates would be added. When Post Malone headlined Spilt Milk in 2023, he made the most of his visit Down Under by announcing a solo tour shortly after being named as a festival headliner. Surely Kendrick Lamar wouldn’t come all this way without performing in Australia’s two largest cities?

He will kick off the Aussie leg of his Grand National tour in Melbourne on December 3, before his festival performances in Ballarat and Perth. He’ll then head to Sydney on December 10 for a huge show at the Allianz Stadium, before finishing up at Spilt Milk in Canberra and the Gold Coast.

It wasn’t actually too long ago that Kendrick was touring Australia — he performed in Perth, Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane in 2022 as part of his The Big Steppers tour. However, it’s safe to say that he’s been pretty busy in the last three years.

He cemented himself as number one in the rap battle game following his feud with Drake, won a Grammy for Record of the Year with his diss track Not Like Us and then played one of the most iconic Super Bowl performances of all time. Kendrick, Australia can’t wait for your return.

How much will tickets cost?

The cost of tickets is yet to be revealed, however, given how popular Kendrick is, our guess is they won’t come cheap.
