A Musical History in the Making
This isn’t the first time Lamar and SZA have shared a stage. In 2018, they joined forces for TDE’s Championship Tour, bringing their talents to audiences nationwide. Their creative synergy also birthed “All the Stars,” the Grammy-nominated and Oscar-shortlisted single from Black Panther: The Album.

Fast forward to 2023, and their collaboration has reached new heights. SZA lends her voice to two tracks on Lamar’s latest album, GNX, including the soulful Billboard Hot 100 smash “Luther” and the haunting closer “Gloria.” The album itself has dominated charts, debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard 200.
No Salt Lake City Stop, but Vegas Beckons
Curiously, the tour skips Salt Lake City, a notable absence for fans in Utah. However, Lamar and SZA will hit nearby Las Vegas, taking over Allegiant Stadium on May 31. With their blend of boundary-pushing artistry and fan-favorite hits, this is a show not to be missed for those willing to make the trip.
