Kendrick Lamar has announced details of a UK tour which will take place in July before his appearance at Wireless. Ticket details below.
The hip-hop star will play three UK dates at Birmingham's O2 Academy on 8 July, Manchester's O2 Apollo on 9 July and Leeds' O2 Academy on 10 July. He will then perform at the Wireless festival in London on 13 July, alongside headliner Jay-Z.
The dates are in support of his recent album Good Kid, m.A.A.d City, with tickets going on sale this Friday (12 April) at 9am.
Chris Brown recently spoke about collaborating with Lamar on his new album, X, on a track titled 'Autumn Leaves'.
He told MTV News, "I think people automatically assumed [that] with me and Kendrick Lamar, if we actually collaborated, it's gonna be a club joint. Me and Kendrick on ‘Autumn Leaves,’ it’s more of a sit in your car and ride-to record. It’s a real laid-back record, but it's also a substance record."

Speaking about the song title, he continued, "It's basically saying [that] you put in so much to get so little. Whether it be in relationships or just in life, you work hard for something all the time and get so little, but you still hold on, like the last leaf in autumn."
"It’s a dope metaphor," Brown added. "Me and him are gonna make magic with that. He’s just a lyrical poet. He’s killing everybody right now so I was like, 'Let’s do it.'"
Tickets for Kendrick Lamar's UK dates are on sale Friday 12 April at 9am. For more information, visit Gigwise Gig Tickets.
