Kendrick Lamar has added another major milestone to the already massive run surrounding his Grand National Tour.
Updated figures from Touring Data show that the Compton superstar generated a reported $390.7 million across 47 shows, with approximately 2.037 million tickets sold. The latest numbers include the tour’s stops in Australia and Latin America, which came after its North American and European legs.
Those updated numbers reportedly make the Grand National Tour the highest-grossing rap tour in history, while also giving Kendrick the highest-grossing year ever recorded by a rapper, based on the Touring Data figures cited in the report.
The achievement adds another chapter to a tour that was already breaking records from its opening stretch. Kendrick and SZA launched the trek in April 2025 following a huge run of momentum surrounding Kendrick’s GNX album, his blockbuster “Not Like Us” moment, and his Super Bowl LIX halftime performance.
The tour quickly established itself as a box-office force. Its Minneapolis opening night generated more than $9.1 million, becoming the first rap concert reported to surpass the $9 million mark. Kendrick and SZA continued pushing the numbers higher in Houston, Dallas, and Seattle, with the Seattle performance eventually reaching approximately $14.8 million.
By the end of 2025, the tour had already been reported as the year’s highest-grossing rap tour, bringing in $369.6 million across 47 shows during Billboard’s tracking period. The newly updated Touring Data figures now push the overall total even higher after additional international performances were included.
Kendrick also set a new personal benchmark in Mexico City. Touring Data reports that the concert sold 58,426 tickets and generated approximately $5.879 million, making it his highest-grossing and most-attended solo concert to date.
The success of the tour is particularly notable because Kendrick’s biggest commercial year wasn’t built around a traditional album rollout alone. Instead, the momentum from GNX, his Super Bowl appearance, the enormous cultural impact of “Not Like Us,” and his partnership with SZA translated into a global stadium run.
SZA’s role was equally significant. As Kendrick’s co-headliner, she helped turn the Grand National Tour into one of the defining live music events of the period, with the pair performing across North America, Europe, Australia, and Latin America.
For Kendrick, the latest numbers add another achievement to a period that has already delivered major chart, streaming, performance, and touring milestones.
With the updated $390.7 million figure now attached to the Grand National Tour, Kendrick Lamar has another record to add to an increasingly historic chapter of his career.
