Kendrick Lamar has added new dates to his upcoming trip to Australia in December<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Grammy Award-winning Compton rapper has confirmed additional shows for Melbourne\u2019s AAMI Park on Sunday, December 4th and Sydney\u2019s Allianz Stadium on Sunday, December 11th.<\/p>\n

While ScHoolboy Q is already confirmed to open the previously-announced shows, fellow US artist Doechii will support the newly-announced shows.<\/p>\n

Both Lamar and Doechii will feature on the Spilt Milk festival lineup<\/a> this year.<\/p>\n

General on sale starts at 1pm, Monday, 11 August, in Melbourne and 2pm in Sydney. Click here<\/a> for more details and check out all of the dates below.<\/p>\n

Before he hits Australia, Kendrick has been touring the US with SZA, and\u00a0Rolling Stone\u00a0positively reviewed their joint show.<\/p>\n

\u201cBoth artists tried their best to engage the hefty crowd, and mostly succeeded with movement, strong vocals, and a mesh of creative screen animations, pyrotechnics, and lighting.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile the set lasted two and a half hours, it rarely lulled, with both doing a solid job of imbuing their set portions with energetic songs to keep the crowd into it. Lamar and SZA are seasoned veterans at this point in their respective careers, and that was reflected even during their first stadium tour. They were strictly business \u2014 in a good way,\u201d\u00a0the review read<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Kendrick has a loyal fanbase in Australia, with his fiery Drake diss track, \u201cNot Like Us\u201d,\u00a0spending consecutive weeks atop the ARIA Singles Chart<\/a>\u00a0earlier this year. The rapper even held three spots in the Top 10 at one point in February, when \u201cLuther\u201d and \u201cAll the Stars\u201d joined \u201cNot Like Us\u201d.<\/p>\n

Kendrick enjoyed a hot start to the year, with a huge haul at the Grammy Awards in his hometown, where he collected the night\u2019s best five wins including Record and Song of the Year for \u201cNot Like Us\u201d. He also unleashed a high-octane performance at the Super Bowl Halftime Show.<\/p>\n
