Coming off the release of his widely-acclaimed new album DAMN., Kendrick Lamar has announced a full-blown North American tour, set to begin in July and run through the beginning of September. Lamar previously announced 17 dates, that included stops in Phoenix, Dallas, Houston, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Brooklyn, Washington, Boston, Toronto, Detroit, Chicago, Denver, Seattle, Vancouver, Oakland, and Las Vegas, and Los Angeles, with both Travis Scott and D.R.A.M. billed as opening support.
Today, the west coast rapper and hip-hop phenomenon has announced a new batch of dates, including shows in Anaheim, Chicago, Toronto, Charlotte, Nashville, and Miami with both D.R.A.M. and YG billed as opening support.
DAMN. comes after his 14-track To Pimp A Butterfly, which won a Grammy Award for best album in 2015, and last year’s surprise untitled unmastered. His raw talent continues to shine in this new 14-track LP, which features collaborations with Rihanna, U2, and LA-based Zacari. Additionally, James Black, BadBadNotGood, and The Alchemist have all received credits, with production credits to Mike WiLL Made It on a number of tracks. Listen to the album here.
