The four dates come amid a slew of dates in Germany, the Netherlands, France, Portugal, Spain, Italy, Poland and Sweden throughout July and August.
The duo’s Grand National run will tour through North America from April 19, kicking off at Minneapolis’ U.S. Bank Stadium and concluding on June 18 at the Northwest Stadium in Washington, D.C. The pair will also hit up the Rogers Centre in Drake’s hometown Toronto, Canada, along the way.
Tickets for the U.K. and Europe shows go on sale from the tour’s website on Feb. 14.
Kendrick Lamar headlined the Super Bowl Halftime Show in New Orleans’ Caesars Superdome on Sunday, providing a fiery, upbeat set during the blowout win for the Philadelphia Eagles over the Kansas City Chiefs.
Lamar was joined by SZA for two songs, “Luther” and “All the Stars,” and saw him play his Drake diss track “Not Like Us” live. The set came amid legal action from Drake against Universal Music Group for profiteering from a song that allegedly defames him. The song picked up five Grammys at the recent ceremony, including record of the year.
Writing for Billboard, Carl Lamarre called Lamar’s set a “victory lap” following the rapper’s recent accomplishments, and wrote that “the impact of Lamar’s performance is indisputable, leaving hip-hop and pop culture awestruck once again.”
