Kendrick Lamar Sydney 2025: ticket info and sale dates

• Kendrick Lamar’s Sydney show dates have been announced as part of his Grand National tour.
• He will play four headline shows in Melbourne and Sydney, with ScHoolboy Q and Doechii as his supporting acts.
• His Sydney show will be at the Allianz Stadium on December 10 and 11, 2025.

One of the biggest names in rap music, Kendrick Lamar, will return to Australia this summer, playing four shows in Sydney and Melbourne alongside his headline 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 and 4, before his festival performances in Ballarat and Perth. He’ll then head to Sydney on December 10 and 11 for huge shows 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.

Supporting acts: ScHoolboy Q and Doechii

Adding even more excitement to Kendrick’s Sydney and Melbourne shows, he’s bringing along some major talent. Joining him is American rapper ScHoolboy Q, known for his hit ‘Collard Green’, and rising star Doechii, who recently took home three Grammy Awards, including Best Rap Album, Best New Artist and Best Rap Performance. Safe to say, these two will only amplify the energy at Kendrick’s shows.

ScHoolBoy Q will perform at Kendrick’s December 3 show in Melbourne and at his December 10 show in Sydney. Doechii will support the rapper at his other dates, December 4 at AAMI Park and December 11 at Allianz Stadium.

Both supporting stars will also be performing at Spilt Milk Festival.
