Kendrick Lamar to play Little Caesars Arena as part of global Big Steppers Tour

Hours after releasing the week's most buzzed-about album, Kendrick Lamar has announced an international tour that includes a Detroit stop.

The Los Angeles rapper will play Little Caesars Arena on Aug. 14, part of his five-month Big Steppers Tour. Baby Keem, Lamar's cousin and frequent collaborator, will open the show.

Tickets will go on sale at noon, May 20 through his website, oklama.com.

The Big Steppers Tour is Lamar's first big outing since 2018, which included a visit to DTE Energy Music Theatre.

Friday's tour announcement comes on the heels of "Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers," released overnight. The 18-track double set is Lamar's fifth studio album and first in five years.
