Kendrick Lamar Becomes First Rapper To Earn $9M USD From One Concert
Setting a new record from the first night of his and SZA’s “Grand National Tour.”
Kendrick Lamar has already set a new tour record for the first night of his and SZA‘s ongoing “Grand National Tour.”
Touring Data revealed that the duo’s opening night at Bank Stadium in Minneapolis grossed a total revenue of $9,124,989 USD. That number comes from 47,354 tickets (100%) sold at an average price of $192.70 USD. This pushes Dot to become the first rapper in history to gross more than $9 million USD from a single show as either a headliner or co-headliner; he breaks Eminem‘s 2019 record that saw him gross $ 8,708,390 USD from a concert in Melbourne.
In addition, the Bank Stadium show also marks Lamar and SZA’s most-attended concert of all time.
The “Grand National Tour” will see the duo perform across North America until June, and then Europe and the UK in the summer.
