Iconic contemporary musician Kendrick Lamar has announced a huge global tour, following the release of his fifth studio album Mr Morale & The Big Steppers.

The Big Steppers Tour will see him travel around the globe, kicking off in the US in July through to September, into European dates across October and November, before finishing up in Australia this December.

Lamar will perform at Perth's RAC Arena on the 1st, Melbourne's Rod Laver Arena on the 4th, Sydney's Qudos Bank Arena on the 8th and Brisbane's Entertainment Centre on the 12th. 

He will be touring with his younger cousin and budding rap superstar in his own right, Baby Keem, as well as Tanna Lowe, who featured on the record. 

The rapper hasn't been in Australia since his 2018 DAMN tour, during which he also performed massive arenas. Lamar ended up winning a Pulitzer Prize and an armload of Grammys for the record. 

Mr Morale & The Big Steppers is a return to the limelight for Lamar after five years without releasing original new music. The record features a stunning list of guest collaborators, including Portishead’s Beth Gibbons, Summer Walker, Ghostface Killah, Thundercat, Baby Keem, Sampha and Kodak Black.
