If you didn't nab tickets for Kendrick Lamar's The Big Steppers World Tour, worry not – the Compton lyricist is taking fans on the road with him as he live streams a sold-out show all the way from Paris' Accor Arena this Saturday (October 22).
The exciting news was shared on Tuesday (October 18), coinciding with the 10-year anniversary of K-Dot's Good Kid, m.A.A.d City album, and as Variety notes, fans in over 240 countries and territories worldwide will be able to tune in to the Amazon Prime Video stream.
The show's scheduled time is set for 2 PM ET on Saturday and will be free exclusively on Prime, the Amazon Music channel on Twitch, as well as on the Amazon Music app. Aside from Lamar's highly anticipated performance, viewers will also catch sets from pgLang's Tanna Leone as well as Baby Keem.
Afterward, Kung Fu Kenny's set will be made available to view on-demand following the initial streaming event.
"As a kid from the west side of Compton, hearing ‘Good Kid, m.A.A.d City’ for the first time and seeing Kendrick’s journey from neighbourhood hero to global superstar ignited a fire in me that I’m forever grateful for. It showed me that no matter where you start in life, hard work and dedication will put you where you hope and dream to be," Tim Hinshaw, Amazon Music's head of R&B and hip-hop shared.
He continued, "Now, 10 years later, it’s almost poetic that two kids from the same city with similar, but different dreams have landed in Paris to celebrate not just that record but Kendrick’s latest revolutionary album, ‘Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers.’ We’re honoured to sponsor this tour and bring this show to fans around the world."
The upcoming stream was produced by Live Nation and presented by Rotation, Amazon Music's hip-hop and R&B brand.
So far, Lamar has already toured in cities across North America, and he's set to make stops in Europe, UK, and Australia before closing out The Big Steppers Tour at Auckland's Spark Arena on December 17 – check out the full list of tour dates here, and tap back in with HNHH later for more hip-hop news updates.
