Kendrick Lamar has made history once again, surpassing Eminem’s 2019 record by grossing over $9 million at a single show. His remarkable achievement comes during the opening night of his Grand National Tour with SZA.
The Minneapolis concert, held at Bank Stadium, saw Lamar break new ground as the first rapper to ever reach this milestone. With a total gross of $9.1 million, Lamar has set a new standard for success in the live music industry.
Breaking Eminem’s Record
Lamar’s concert in Minneapolis earned a massive $9,124,989, outshining Eminem’s previous record of $8,708,390. Eminem set that record back in 2019 during a show in Melbourne.
The Minneapolis concert was a sold-out event, attracting 47,354 fans who eagerly packed the stadium to see Lamar and SZA perform. With the average ticket price at $192.70, this incredible feat shows just how much Kendrick Lamar’s star power has grown.
A Groundbreaking Collaboration with SZA
The Grand National Tour is a highly anticipated event, bringing together two of the biggest names in music. Kendrick Lamar and SZA are not only setting records on stage but also dominating the charts with their hit single “Luther.”
The track has spent 10 weeks at No. 1, marking the first time a solo male and female artist have held that spot without any guest features. This achievement has surpassed iconic collaborations like Diana Ross and Lionel Richie’s “Endless Love,” which held the top spot for nine weeks in 1981.
A Look at the Grand National Tour
Lamar’s Grand National Tour kicked off in Minneapolis and will run through until August 9, with Stockholm marking the final destination. The tour, which features both Lamar and SZA, is poised for massive success as the duo continues to break records both on the charts and at live shows.
Their collaboration continues to capture the attention of fans worldwide, and with performances like the one in Minneapolis, the tour is sure to attract even more attention.
The Future Looks Bright for Kendrick Lamar and SZA
With their continued success on both the stage and the charts, Kendrick Lamar and SZA are showing no signs of slowing down. The Grand National Tour has proven to be a major milestone in their careers, and their future looks even brighter.
Lamar’s achievement of grossing over $9 million at a single show is just one more testament to his enduring influence in the music industry. As the tour progresses, fans can expect even more incredible performances and groundbreaking moments.
