Doors will open at 3 p.m. PT, giving fans plenty of time to settle in before the show begins at 4 p.m.

The Significance Of Juneteenth
Choosing Juneteenth for The Pop Out adds a layer of cultural significance to the event. Juneteenth, celebrated on June 19th, commemorates the emancipation of enslaved African Americans in the United States. It has become a day of reflection, celebration, and recognition of African American history and culture. Kendrick Lamar's decision to host this concert on such an important day highlights his commitment to his roots and his community.
Speculations & Expectations
The phrase "Ken and friends" has sparked considerable speculation about who might join Kendrick on stage. Given Kendrick's extensive network within the music industry, fans are eagerly guessing which artists might make an appearance. We could hope that there might be some sort of Black Hippy reunion or at the very least, a few appearances from his TDE comrades. Outside of that, we could imagine that artists like Baby Keem could also make an appearance. Plus, with the recent announcement of Mustard’s new project, we could imagine that Kendrick’s “Not Like Us” collaborator could pop up, as well.
This concert also marks Kendrick's first major event since his and Drake's notable back-and-forth, which has kept fans and media buzzing. Hopefully, this show will see Kendrick perform songs like “Euphoria,” “6:16 In LA,” “Meet The Grahams” (doubtful), and of course, “Not Like Us.” Additionally, it's been two years since the release of Kendrick's last studio album, Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers. Furthermore, with recent rumors suggesting that new music might be on the horizon, fans are hoping that The Pop Out could include the debut of new tracks or announcements about upcoming projects.
Conclusion
The Pop Out is shaping up to be a monumental event for Kendrick Lamar fans and music enthusiasts alike. With its strategic timing on Juneteenth, early ticket access for dedicated fans, and the promise of special guest appearances, you don't want to miss this concert. As anticipation builds, fans are eagerly counting down the days until they can join "Ken and friends" for an unforgettable celebration at the Kia Forum. Whether it’s a glimpse of new music or simply a stellar performance, The Pop Out is set to be a highlight of the summer concert season.
