Kendrick Lamar Announces A Whole ‘DAMN.’ Tour

It’s only April, but it’s fair to assume that Kendrick Lamar’s DAMN will go down as one of the year’s best albums. Just ask Kung Fu Kenny’s mother.

Lamar is inarguably our greatest active rapper, and in the same way everyone should pay to watch LeBron James (who’s a fan) do what he does better than any other living human at least once, you’d be a fool not to see K-Dot while he’s at the peak of his powers. Luckily, following a victory-lap performance at Coachella, he’s hitting the road this summer with Travis Scott and D.R.A.M.

The tour begins in Phoenix, Arizona, on July 12 and wraps up on August 6 in Los Angeles, California, at the Staples Center, a 30-minute drive from where Lamar grew up, in Compton. In-between, they’ll visit Dallas, Houston, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Brooklyn, Washington, Boston, Toronto, Detroit, Chicago, Denver, Seattle, Vancouver, Oakland, and Las Vegas.
