After dropping his highly anticipated fifth studio album, Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers, on Friday (May 13), the rapper also unveiled plans for a tour in support of the album release — appropriately titled The Big Steppers Tour — which marks his first since 2018’s The DAMN.

The second leg of The Big Steppers Tour will commence three weeks later in Europe at Amsterdam’s Ziggo Dome on Oct. 7, before concluding at Auckland’s Spark Arena in New Zealand on Dec. 16.

Lamar’s “Family Ties” collaborator (also his cousin) Baby Keem will be joining him as the opener for all dates, while Tanna Leone — the rapper’s recent pgLang signee who features on Big Steppers track “Mr. Morale” — will be joining for select, unspecified dates.
