Kendrick Lamar & SZA: Grand National tour

I say this every show, but man... This was incredible. The queue was long (about 4 hours of queueing, plus an additional 2 hours of waiting inside the venue before the opening act even started), but it was so worth it! We stood directly against the barrier, just 3m away from the stage where Kendrick and SZA would perform.

DJ Mustard was the opening act; a fun set to get the crowd moving and ready for the stars of the evening. He played some hits he produced, with some other fun songs mixed in to get us warmed up.

And then the main act. Kendrick opened up the show with wacced out murals while he and his GNX emerged from below the stage, and he started his set. Later SZA joined for Doves In The Wind after which Kendrick passed the baton off to her for a couple of songs. This was a very fun way to keep the crowd engaged and entertained; they kept switching it up.

This went on for about 3 hours between the two, and I enjoyed all 240 minutes of it. Absolute banger of a show, even after having seen Kendrick on the DAMN tour and the Mr. Morale and the Big Steppers tour previously. He keeps it fresh and leaves me wanting more! Already can't wait for my fourth Kendrick show in a couple of years (hopefully! 🙏)

Picking a favorite from this show is impossible. It was simply phenomenal.
