Kendrick Lamar will reportedly go on a stadium tour following his Super Bowl performance

In an exciting development for hip-hop fans, Kendrick Lamar is reportedly planning a major stadium tour in 2025 following his highly anticipated performance at the Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show.

Accordingly BloombergAccording to sources, the 37-year-old has likely turned down a headlining gig at next year’s Coachella festival due to a possible scheduling conflict with the tour, which has not yet been officially announced.

This decision seems to signal that Lamar is focused on creating a memorable touring experience rather than planning major festival appearances. Kendrick previously hit the main stage at Coachella in 2012 before returning to headline the festival in 2017.

News of the rumored tour comes as Lamar continues to ride a wave of success, especially after his recent rap beef with Drake, which cemented his status as a megastar in the music industry.

The back and forth with Drake has added to Lamar’s momentum, with fans and critics alike declaring him the winner of the rivalry. He then released several titles that were well received both commercially and culturally, further strengthening his reputation.

As part of his strategy to capitalize on this increased visibility, Lamar has submitted three of his dissident tracks for consideration at the 2025 GRAMMY Awards. Tracks include “Like That” featuring Future and Metro Boomin, as well as “Euphoria” and “Not Like Us.”
