Kendrick Lamar and SZA just did what many thought was impossible — they knocked Drake out of the No. 1 spot and now hold the title for the highest-grossing hip-hop tour in history.
According to multiple reports, their Grand National Tour pulled staggering numbers:
Over $250+ million grossed More than 1.1 million tickets sold Only 23 shows — yes, 23 shows The demand was so intense that entire arenas sold out instantly, with prices surging on resale markets nationwide.
This milestone officially replaces Drake, whose tours have long dominated the hip-hop touring landscape. Drake has held the crown for years, consistently topping the charts and selling out stadiums — but Kendrick and SZA just slid in and said thank you for your service.
What makes this even more iconic?
Kendrick and SZA did it without gimmicks, huge album rollouts, or endless theatrics. They simply put two generational talents on one stage and let the artistry speak for itself. Fans showed up, the box office reflected it, and the culture felt it.
The internet is already in shambles, with fans debating what this means for Drake’s touring legacy — but the numbers don’t lie. Kendrick and SZA now sit at the top of the hip-hop touring mountain, and everyone else is looking up.
