Kendrick Lamar has decided not to wait for milk to spill before giving his Australian fans what they want.
Three days before he headlines the Spilt Milk Festival roster in Ballarat, Australia, the 22-time Grammy Winner will perform solo in Melbourne’s AAMI Park on Dec. 3. Ticket sales start June 16, but presale tickets are available now.
Lamar’s last visit to the land down under was in 2022. His solo shows and festival participation have him returning to a devoted cadre of fans. Three of his tracks simultaneously reigned in the ARIA charts, with “Not Like Us” remaining for two consecutive weeks earlier this year.
Since then he’s been a regular mainstay in the Australian Recording Industry Association’s (ARIA) records. This week alone, seven, that’s right – nearly 20%, of ARIA’s Top 40 Hip-Hop/R&B Singles are Kendrick’s. Bottom to top, he’s dominating with:
- #34 Swimming Pools
- #19 Humble (Kendrick Lamar with Skrillex)
- #13 Money Trees (Kendrick Lamar and Jay Rock)
- #12 TV Off
- #7 Not Like Us
- #4 All the Stars (Kendrick Lamar and SZA)
- #2 Luther
Australian fans will get a second solo fix of Kendrick when he performs Dec. 10. His Spilt Milk Appearances will be Dec. 6 (Ballarat); 7 (Perth); 13 (Canberra) and 14(Gold Coast).
