Kendrick Lamar Brings Grand National Tour to Mexico City With High-Production Solo Set

The visuals-forward performance showcased GNX material alongside fan favorites with Mexico City–specific touches.

Overview

  • Kendrick Lamar performed a solo show at Estadio GNP Seguros in Mexico City as part of his Grand National World Tour, running about 1 hour 36 minutes from a 21:30 start to a 23:06 finish and closing with thanks in English and Spanish plus a promise to return.
  • The set traced new GNX songs through career highlights, building to an encore anchored by Not Like Us and Luther before a final sendoff with Gloria.
  • Staging featured three giant screens, frequent pyrotechnics, dancers, and imagery evoking Compton and lowrider culture, with a digital SZA element woven into the visuals.
  • Grupo Milenio reported that recorded vocals by Mexican singer Deyra Barrera were used on the opener Wacced Out Murals and recurred as transitions, with Spanish text on screens aiding the narrative.
  • Pre-show chatter about slow sales contrasted with busy box offices, Ca7riel and Paco Moroso fired up early arrivals, a roughly 30‑minute delay drew boos, and the crowd’s response peaked during Not Like Us with chants aimed at Drake according to local reports.
