Following their Super Bowl LIX half-time show performance, US artists Kendrick Lamar and SZA have announced UK summer dates for their 'Grand National Tour' with the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on the list.

As part of Tottenham's £1bn project to build themselves a new stadium by 2019, they also opened avenues for new economies to enter the area. The most high-profile were NFL matches amongst other sports, but also six concerts are permitted to be held per year.

Global musicians Guns N' Roses, Beyonce and Lady Gaga have previously performed at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Now set to follow them are two more modern musical icons.

A press release states: "Fresh off a spectacular performance during the half-time show at Super Bowl LIX, hip-hop icon Kendrick Lamar and R&B star SZA have announced a one-off show at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Tuesday July 22, 2025, as part of their Grand National Tour.

"Known for his complex lyricism and socially conscious themes, Kendrick Lamar is considered one of the greatest rappers of all time. His track 'Not Like Us' recently became the most decorated song in Grammy Awards history by sweeping all five of its nominations at the 2025 Awards.

"SZA has been a globally renowned name in the R&B world since the success of her debut album Ctrl. She also picked up a Grammy this year after her track 'Saturn' was recognised in the 'Best R&B song' category."

Lamar was also the headline act of the Super Bowl on Sunday, won 40-22 by Philadelphia Eagles vs Kansas City Chiefs, at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana, in front of 103,000 live spectators and a further 120 million expected viewers on TV.

SZA was his guest to perform whilst actor Samuel Jackson and tennis icon Serena Williams made surprise appearances during their set.

Now Lamar and SZA are set to embark on their 'Grand National Tour' beginning in the US and Canada before coming to Europe. Before reaching the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium they will play at Glasgow's Hampden Park, Birmingham's Villa Park and Cardiff's Principality Stadium.

For the gig in the capital, Tottenham season ticket holders, members and local residents will be able to purchase tickets in a priority access sale on Wednesday, February 12 between 9am and 11:59pm.

General sale will then open to the wider public on Friday, February 14 at 9am.
