Some users took advantage of the moment to respond to critics who have long said that Kendrick's popularity is restricted to people outside of the United States.

A user commented: “But they said Kendrick wasn't known overseas.”

Frankfurt's crowd made the experience much more enjoyable turning it into a spectacular performance.

A user said: "Good time is the city’s middle name."
While another said: "Frankfurt crowd getting turnt to family ties."

More about The Grand National Tour

With $256.4 million in ticket sales in North America alone, Kendrick Lamar and SZA's Grand National tour has already made history and is now the highest-grossing co-headlining hip-hop tour ever. In Cologne, Frankfurt, and soon London, Rome, and Stockholm, the pair continues to sell out stadiums around Europe.

Fan favorites include Wacced Out Murals, Kill Bill, Gloria, Family Ties, and, of course, Not Like Us, which are among the 51 songs on their set list. Kendrick is one of the most admired musicians of this generation, and his ability to keep the crowd moving from start to finish demonstrates why.

Kdot and SZA's performance was loved by all, from their hit song Luther and All the Stars. At 23 weeks, Luther has surpassed the previous record for the longest run at the top of the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs list. Additionally, it just became his fastest-ever song to reach one billion streams.

Kendrick Lamar will be performing next at Villa Park in Birmingham on July 10 2025. This was the same venue where Black Sabbath's last ever live performance show took place where Ozzy Osbourne was joined by other artists and bands.
