When the Splendour in the Grass sideshows began to roll out earlier this week, one name was notably absent: Kendrick Lamar.

And while the Compton rapper is set to light up the stage at North Byron Parklands, it goes without saying that the demand for his live show stretches all across the country. He’s won the Hottest 100, a Pulitzer Prize, and is the biggest rapper in the world, and now he gets a tour to (mostly) accomodate his fans Down Under.

The DAMN. tour will see Kendrick play four headline arena shows scattered throughout July, hitting Perth, Melbourne, Adelaide and Sydney. Notably, there’s no Brisbane show for some reason, so fans in the Sunshine State may have to start booking their flights and accomodation ASAP. We don’t need to tell you that these shows will sell out in a flash when tickets are released on Monday, April 30 – see all the dates and details below:
