Kendrick Lamar revealed his plans to set out on a North American tour that may hit a college or university campus near you soon. During the Verge Campus Tour, the Compton native will make 33 stops beginning with a show in Las Vegas March 29. There’s no word as to if any of his TDE brethren will appear, but many shows will also feature DJ/Dim Mak label head Steve Aoki.
Noticing the conflicting dates, we can’t help but wonder how this will affect Lamar’s appearances on the previously announced Yahoo! On The Road tour, during which he was scheduled to grace the stage with artists like Jay-Z, J. Cole, Macklemore and Ryan Lewis, The Lumineers, FUN., and more during its United States leg. Perhaps he’s just eating like that, since it was also announced that Lamar would perform a Lollapalooza. Applaud the young brother if such is the case.
Nevertheless, we suggest that you check out K. Dot’s live show in any capacity if you have the chance. We’ve seen a few that were phenomenal, and word on the block is that he’s gotten even better.
The Verge Campus Tour is sponsored by Karmaloop.com, eMuze.com, and Neff Headwear. It’s also worth noting that certain shows will be private, and others will be reserved for the student body. All of that is made clear in the show dates below.
