Kendrick Lamar announced on Tuesday that he'll be coming to AT&T Stadium as part of his Grand National Tour with singer SZA.

North Texas can look forward to seeing these two artists on April 26, the third date of what is sure to be a sellout tour for the "Not Like Us" rapper.

The announcement comes just 10 days after the release of Lamar's sixth studio album, GNX, which features SZA on the tracks "Luther" and "Gloria."

The album has received widespread acclaim, with critics at Rolling Stone and The Independent already placing it on their year-end best-of lists.

This week, Lamar also claimed the top five spots on the Billboard Hot 100, tying a record with Drake — with whom Lamar has famously beefed all year.

SZA is currently in the process of releasing Lana, her much-anticipated follow-up to 2022's SOS; the first single "Saturn," came out earlier this year. The singer has teased two more songs, but has yet to release them or give any further information about a release date.

SZA was the first female artist to sign with Lamar's former label, Top Dawg Entertainment, in 2013, and the two have been close friends and collaborators since.

The tour will kick off in Minneapolis about two months after Lamar is scheduled to perform in the Super Bowl halftime show in New Orleans.

Tickets for the concert will go on sale to the general public on Friday, Dec. 6, on SeatGeek. Other presales for CashApp and Prime members start Wednesday, Dec. 4.

No word yet on how much Drake is not going to like this.
