Kendrick Lamar is going bigger than Spilt Milk. The Pulitzer-winning rapper has officially announced two massive headline shows in Australia this December as part of his “Grand National Tour,” performing at Melbourne’s AAMI Park on December 3, 2025 and Sydney’s Allianz Stadium on December 10, 2025.
While fans already clocked his return to the country when he was named the main act for Spilt Milk 2025 earlier this year, this new announcement confirms stadium-level solo shows, marking his largest Australian performances since “The Big Steppers Tour” in 2022. Running alongside his appearances at Spilt Milk in Ballarat, Canberra, the Gold Coast and Perth, the “Grand National Tour” brings Kendrick’s commanding live presence to two of the country’s biggest stages.
