NEW YORK (AP) — “Not Like Us,” it's like them — Kendrick Lamar and SZA will hit the road together in 2025.
On Tuesday morning, Lamar and SZA announced the Grand National Tour, which will hit 19 stadiums across North America next spring and summer.
The news arrives less than two weeks after Lamar released his latest album, “GNX,” which features SZA on two tracks: “Luther” and the closer “Gloria.” In a review, AP described the album as leaning into the same creativity-juicing pride, self-righteous anger and supreme confidence that fueled the Grammy-nominated “Not Like Us” and won his feud with Drake: “I kill ’em all before I let ’em kill my joy.”
The tour kicks off on April 19 in Minneapolis, then hits Houston; Arlington, Texas; Atlanta; Charlotte, North Carolina; Philadelphia; East Rutherford, New Jersey; Foxborough, Massachusetts; Seattle; Los Angeles; Glendale, Arizona; San Francisco; Las Vegas; St. Louis; Chicago; Detroit; Toronto; Hershey, Pennsylvania; and Washington.
Tickets go on sale Friday. A presale for Cash App Visa Card holders will launch Wednesday.
This story has been corrected to fix the date of the presale.

ZANDVOORT, Netherlands (AP) — World champion Max Verstappen 's home Grand Prix will only be on the Formula 1 calendar for two more years after it was announced Wednesday that 2026 will be the last edition.
F1 said it granted a one-year contract extension for the 2026 race but it was the local promoter’s decision not to continue after that.
Dutch Grand Prix director Robert van Overdijk said it would be “the end of a monumental era.”
The beachside track at Zandvoort has been known for its passionate orange-clad fans cheering on Verstappen. He won the first three editions of the race after it returned to the F1 calendar in 2021 for the first time since 1985. Lando Norris won this year.
“We are a privately owned and operated business, and we must balance the opportunities presented by continuing to host the event, against other risks and responsibilities," van Overdijk said in a joint statement with F1. "We have decided to go out on a high with two more incredible Dutch Grands Prix in 2025 and 2026."
F1 said the 2026 Dutch Grand Prix will also feature a sprint race.
F1 president and chief executive Stefano Domenicali said Dutch organizers were offered the option of hosting a race in alternate years, but “we respect the decision from the promoter to finish its amazing run in 2026.”
