Kendrick Lamar Kicks Off Tour With First-Ever Performances of Songs from His New Album

Published Wed, July 20, 2022 at 11:49 AM EDT

Kendrick Lamar kicked off the North American leg of his Big Steppers Tour at the Paycom Center in Oklahoma City, where he performed a handful of songs from his new album Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers for the first time, including “Worldwide Steppers,” “Purple Hearts,” “Father Time,” “Die Hard,” “Crown” and “Mr. Morale,” featuring Tanna Leone.

Rolling Stone reports Kendrick also performed songs from his major label debut, Good Kid, M.A.A.D. City and Damn. His material from his career-defining album, To Pimp a Butterfly was absent, however, save for "Alright." In between tour stops, Kendrick will headline Rolling Loud Miami this Sunday, alongside Future and Kid Cudi, who replaced Kanye West when he unexpectedly dropped out of the show earlier this week.
