Philadelphia came alive on May 5, 2025, when Kendrick Lamar and SZA brought the Grand National Tour to Lincoln Financial Field. The stadium, which holds around sixty-seven thousand fans, delivered sweeping views from every level. Promoters designed a center stage that stretched nearly the full length of the field, ensuring even those in the upper rows felt fully immersed in the experience.
The show marked a key stop on a tour that launched in April and had already broken revenue recordsincluding a stunning $14.8 million single-night haul in Seattle. Kendrick and SZA delivered a powerful setlist featuring tracks from Kendricks chart-topping GNX album and SZAs SOS Deluxe: Lana, supported by a live band that moved effortlessly between smooth jazz and hard-hitting trap beats.
Each night on the tour offered surprisesfrom Baby Keem cameos to an Anita Baker sample Kendrick reimagined as a spoken-word interlude. The Philadelphia crowd was all in, singing every word, especially during All the Stars, the emotional centerpiece of the night.
