Kendrick Lamar has broken his own record for the highest-grossing hip-hop concert.
OurGenerationMusic reveals that the Dot and SZA‘s show at Seattle’s Lumen Field grossed a total of $14.8111 million USD from 60,941 tickets, overtaking the rapper’s previous record in late April. The first night of the duo’s “Grand National Tour” at Bank Stadium in Minneapolis grossed a total revenue of $9,124,989 USD — marking a $5 million USD difference.
Dot continues to be the first rapper in history to gross over $9 million USD from a single show. Eminem previously held the record in 2019 when he grossed $8,708,390 USD from a concert in Melbourne.
The “Grand National Tour” currently has a number of shows left in North America. Lamar and SZA will then hit up the UK and Europe in the summer before closing out the tour in early August.
