More Kendrick Lamar More Kendrick Lamar

Kendrick Lamar's sold-out concert at Accor Arena, Paris, will be live-streamed through Amazon Music, Prime Video and the Amazon Music Channel on Twitch, with the performance available to watch on-demand on Prime Video after the event. 

The concert is part of Lamar's The Big Steppers Tour and marks the 10th anniversary of his iconic, critically claimed second album, good kid, m.A.A.d city. The album has been certified triple-Platinum and was nominated for seven awards at the 56th Grammy Awards. Watching the live stream will offer fans a unique view into Lamar's 65-date world tour and live versions of songs from his latest album, Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers.

While watching Lamar perform is always thrilling, the whole concert experience will be on display, with sets from labelmates Tanna Leone and Baby Keem opening the show. The stream will be produced by Live Nation and presented by Rotation, the hip-hop and R&B leg of Amazon Music.

Tim Hinshaw, Head Of R&B And Hip-Hop For Amazon Music, looked up to Lamar and said so in a statement, "As a kid from the west side of Compton, hearing good kid, m.A.A.d city for the first time and seeing Kendrick's journey from neighbourhood hero to global superstar ignited a fire in me that I'm forever grateful for. It showed me that no matter where you start in life, hard work and dedication will put you where you hope and dream to be.

"Now, ten years later, it's almost poetic that two kids from the same city with similar, but different dreams have landed in Paris to celebrate not just that record but Kendrick's latest revolutionary album, Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers. We're honoured to sponsor this tour and bring this show to fans around the world."

Alaina Bartels, Head Of Talent Synergy & Specials at Amazon Studios, also wrote, "We are thrilled to be working with Kendrick Lamar, one of the most influential and groundbreaking artists of my generation, and pgLang [Kendrick Lamar and Dave Free's record label] to collaborate across Amazon for this epic entertainment event."
