Kendrick Lamar and SZA electrified fans at Gillette Stadium on May 12, showcasing their immense talents with a blend of new and classic hits. The concert featured Lamar's impressive pyrotechnics and SZA's whimsical visuals, including flying with fairy wings. Highlights included performances of "DNA," "All the Stars," and Lamar's anticipated tracks from his upcoming album. The pair's contrasting aesthetics combined to create an unforgettable show filled with energy, finishing with fireworks, and a reflective connection to Lamar's ongoing legal issues, adding depth to their performance.
Lamar's acts particularly did not skimp on the pyrotechnics. He opened the show with "wacced out murals" and "squabble up," which also open his surprise 2024 album "GNX." He rapped from the titular GNX before the area screens lit up with a video of a deposition, likely alluding to a lawsuit Canadian rapper Drake filed alleging that Lamar's hit "Not Like Us" is defamatory. (Kendrick ended the concert with the hit in Foxborough).
The rapper then revisited past hits "King Kunta" and "ELEMENT." Plumes of fire and sparks accented the hard turn into "tv off" to conclude the first act of the almost-three-hour show.
