Kendrick Lamar has broken yet another record, this time earning the highest grossing concert by a Black male as headlining or co-headlining artist in history.
The feat occurred at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas on April 26, where his Grand National Tour (co-headlined by SZA) brought in a whopping $11.822 million in a single night.
The record was previously held by The Weeknd, who grossed $9.8 million at his 2022 concert at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles.

Kendrick Lamar and SZA also recently tied a record set by Diddy and Faith Evans nearly 30 years ago with their chart-topping hit, “Luther.”
This week, the GNX collab topped the Billboard Hot 100 for its 11th total and consecutive week. This now ties it with 1997’s “I’ll Be Missing You” for the most weeks spent at No. 1 among duets by co-billed lead solo men and women.
The song is also both K. Dot and SZA’s longest-running single atop the charts.
Kendrick has been breaking records left and right over the last year. When the Grand National tour began in Minneapolis last month, it saw Kendrick break Eminem‘s previous record of highest-grossing rap concert.
According to Touring Data, the opening night in Minneapolis grossed over $9.1 million from more than 47,000 fans at an average price of $192.70.
This means that Kendrick can now boast that he has the single highest grossing Hip Hop concert of all time, surpassing Eminem’s record from when he played in Melbourne, Australia in 2019.
It is also the first ever rap concert to break the $9 million barrier.
Looking ahead, Kendrick has been confirmed as the headliner for Australia’s Spilt Milk festival.
The touring festival, which took a year off in 2024, will set up camp in December (the Australian summer) at Ballarat/Wadawurrung, Perth/Whadjuk, Canberra/Ngunnawal and Gold Coast/Kombumerri.
As well as Lamar, the festival will be strongly represented by TDE with Doechii and ScHoolboy Q also high on the bill.
The festival will also feature performances from Euphoria star Dominic Fike, viral star Nessa Barrett and breakout singer d4dv.
Spilt Milk starts on December 6 with the final of the four shows landing on December 14.

gay greg the eternal drake deepthroater has been angry for 12 months straight of drake catching Ls lmao
@Great Greg My dude, are you gonna be okay? Seriously, what is wrong with you? Why are you so obsessively invested in this?
“Top grossing” is a stupid way to measure a record, considering ticket prices have fluctuated like crazy over the last 50 years. My parents saw ACDC for $9, went to Disney world for $5. Adjusted for inflation, tickets these days are still about 5x the price, so a $5 ticket I 1980 8s really similar to a $40 ticket today, yet that $40 ticket is actually $150+.
Kanye somewhere cutting himself and crying like the bitch he is.
everything is so boxed in these days. rapper, black, white, asian, male. why not just male? are they not on the same standard?
Why everything has to have a COLOR these days! Smh sad
Why does everything has to be about color you could’ve just said male rapper!!! WEIRDO
