It was a year ago that Kendrick Lamar gave the world a diss track like no other in āNot Like Us.ā A lyrical exorcism and public indictment of manipulation, appropriation and the evils of the power hungry. In the year since its release, Lamar has single-handedly brought back 90s flare jeans, swept the Grammys and delivered a Super Bowl halftime performance that was so full of symbolism it sparked think pieces. Now heās bringing the Grand National Tour and R&B songstress SZA to Lumen Field to start off Seattle’s summer music magic.
Expect a mix of vulnerability and virtuosity in the coheadliner show with two artists known for their lyrics that turn pain into poetry and rhythm into a reckoning. Together they are not just performing ā theyāre prophesying. With the setting sun behind the stadium, Lamar and SZA promise a night of chart toppers that are truth tellers. And in a city like Seattle where rain is reclamation and summer is what we earn, not receive, this show says now is our time!
