The California-born rapper revealed the tour would be a family affair with his cousin, Baby Keem, his supporting act across the US, Europe, the UK, Australia and New Zealand.
Lamar last performed in Aotearoa in 2018 with his Dunedin and Auckland shows selling out within seconds.

In 2016 he headlined Auckland City Limits Music Festival alongside The National.

Lamar, 35, is regarded as a hip-hop music icon noted for the powerful personal narratives and social commentary of his songwriting and is the only rapper to have won a Pulitzer.
