Lamar, who is nominated for ‘International Artist of the Year’ at this year’s BRIT awards, will return to the UK for the first time following his ‘The Big Steppers’ tour in 2022, whereas SZA last performed a headline slot at both Glastonbury and Hyde Park’s British Summer Time last year.

With a sonic relationship that spans over a decade, Lamar and SZA have collaborated seven times over the years, the first being in 2014 on SZA’s debut EP ‘Z’ with ‘Babylon’, which has garnered over 40 million streams on Spotify. Since then, the pair have brought enticing chemistry through seamless vocal delivery, perfectly conducted melodies and an extra layer of camaraderie to each of their collaborations. Most notably, their biggest hit featured in the 2018 Black Panther score, ‘All The Stars’, peaked at number 5 on the UK Official Singles Chart and has since gained almost 2 billion streams on Spotify. Most recently, SZA featured twice on Lamar’s newest number 1 album, ‘GNX’ on ‘luther’ and ‘gloria’.  It is evident, their collaborations are loved by fans, as much as the artists themselves, making the ‘Grand National’ tour a must-see for Lamar and SZA fans alike.

The announcement of the forthcoming tour followed the pair’s performance at this year’s Superbowl, where the hip-hop and alt-R&B artists performed a live debut of ‘luther’ before an effortless transition into much-loved favourite, ‘All The Stars’. As the pair continuously prove themselves as perfect collaborators, their ‘Grand National’ tour is in safe hands if their Superbowl performance is anything to go by! There is no doubt that tickets will high demand for this iconic tour of the summer.

“The Right Person Will Stay” will be the singer’s tenth studio album, marking a venture into the country genre. She will collaborate again with Jack Antonoff, and Luke Laird, a music producer and writer well known for working in country music. This July she released “Tough”, a collaboration with Quavo. The track combines Quavo’s quintessential rap style and Lana Del Rey’s dreamy vocals, with a clear guitar tune that sounds decidedly country. The hook is catchy in the common country-pop style with the lyrics, “Tough like the scuff on a pair of old leather boots / Like the blue-collar, red-dirt attitude /Like a .38 made out of brass”, standing out in particular. 

Lana Del Rey last performed in the UK in August of this year at the Reading & Leeds Festivals. She also headlined the Hyde Park Festival and Glastonbury in 2023. Besides this, she hasn’t done a tour in the UK since 2017 when she promoted her fifth studio album “Lust For Life”.

Lana Del Rey is a New York-native pop singer who has been active since 2005. She released her first album, “Lana Del Rey”, in 2010, but her first commercial success came when she released the single “Video Games” in 2011. The song went viral, and she signed with labels Polydor and Interscope shortly after. She then released her second album, “Born to Die,” in 2012, with the single “Summertime Sadness” from the same album leading to further chart success. Whilst she has never achieved a number one song in the UK, six of her singles have reached the top ten in the official UK charts, and she has achieved six number one albums including: Born To Die (2012), Ultraviolence (2014), Lust For Life (2017), Norman F**king Rockwell! (2019), Chemtrails Over The Country Club (2021) and Did you know that there’s a tunnel under Ocean Blvd.? (2023).

After a history of constantly reinventing and experimenting with her sound, Del Rey’s newest album is set to explore the country genre whilst still maintaining a sound that is quintessentially her. The album “The Right Person Will Stay”, originally called “Lasso”, is set to release 21 May 2025 following delays. In an interview Vogue this August, Del Rey said, “If anything, it will just be a little lighter lyrically, and more pointed in a classic country, American, or Southern Gothic production—which again, so many of my songs already are.” In an earlier interview with People, on why the album has faced delays she said, “‘Cause I don’t usually feel like I need a pause in the creation process, but if there’s a literal energetic pause that almost feels like physical, then I have to wait and I don’t know why.” The commitment to her craft is what makes Lana Del Rey’s music constantly authentic despite the exploration of sound and genres from album to album.

The UK and Ireland tour in support of “The Right Person Will Stay” is set to start in Cardiff, June 2025. The full list of dates is below.

23/06/2025 – Principality Stadium – Cardiff

26/06 – Hampden Park – Glasgow
