SZA teases “Lana” Tour coming after Grand National Tour

SZA Hints at ‘Lana Tour’ After Stadium Run with Kendrick Lamar

SZA may be conquering stadiums with Kendrick Lamar on the sold-out Grand National Tour, but she’s already teasing her next move—a potential solo “Lana Tour.” During a recent show at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, the Grammy-winning R&B powerhouse reportedly told a fan mid-performance that she’s planning to tour solo again once her run with Kendrick wraps.

The moment sent waves through the internet. Fans took to social media to express their excitement, speculating what the Lana Tour might entail, especially after the success of SZA’s SOS Deluxe: Lana, released in late December 2024.

Now with Kendrick’s GNX album and their joint single “Luther” spending over 13 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, this pairing of two of the most dynamic artists in music has become a full-on cultural moment. But as SZA begins laying the groundwork for her next chapter, here’s everything we know—and everything fans are hoping for—regarding her teased solo tour.

From Deluxe Album to Possible Headlining Tour

Back in December, SZA surprised fans with SOS Deluxe: Lana, a 15-track expansion of her blockbuster 2022 sophomore album SOS. Named after her alter ego “Lana,” the deluxe edition features more emotionally raw, genre-fluid tracks that show SZA leaning even further into alternative sounds, introspection, and narrative depth.

Standout tracks include “Joni” featuring Don Toliver, “Saturn,” and “30 for 30,” a searing collaboration with Kendrick Lamar that fans now get to witness live during the tour. This deluxe project was more than just an afterthought—it was a continuation of the SOS world, but through a more experimental lens.

The album deepened SZA’s discography while giving her fans even more material to connect with, making a follow-up tour not only plausible but necessary.

SZA and Kendrick Are a Cultural Power Duo on the Grand National Tour

The Grand National Tour is not just a concert—it’s a movement. Kicking off on April 19 in Minneapolis, the tour brings two of the most genre-defining voices of modern hip-hop and R&B together on one stage. Each night has been a spectacle, combining innovative visuals, setlist surprises, and deeply personal performances.

Recent shows have featured guest appearances by Lizzo and Don Toliver, adding star power to an already stacked production. During the LA stop, Lizzo joined SZA to perform their emotional remix of “Special,” drawing thunderous applause and marking Lizzo’s first official stadium performance.

SZA’s performance is equal parts art and vulnerability. From performing “Kill Bill” amid bloody stage effects to stripping it all back with acoustic versions of songs like “Drew Barrymore” and “Nobody Gets Me,” she continues to show why she’s one of the most dynamic performers today.

What Could the Lana Tour Look Like?

If SZA’s SOS Tour in 2023 proved anything, it’s that she can sell out arenas around the world on her own. That tour grossed over $95 million and spanned across North America and Europe. A Lana Tour could elevate that energy while dialing into a more alternative, perhaps even avant-garde experience.

Given the more intimate and reflective tone of the Lana tracks, this new tour could see SZA opting for a more immersive stage design, storytelling interludes, and artistic visuals that reflect her alter ego’s aesthetic. Think high fashion meets raw emotion, layered over intricate lighting and sound design.

It’s also possible the Lana Tour could begin in smaller venues or theaters before expanding, depending on the artistic vision. That said, demand for SZA is sky-high—her team may need to balance artistic intimacy with commercial scale.

Fan Anticipation and Social Media Frenzy

SZA’s comment about the Lana Tour may have been brief, but it was all her fans needed. Within hours, TikTok and X (formerly Twitter) lit up with theories, wishlist venues, and dream setlists.

“I’m manifesting a visual album and a Lana Tour doc,” one user wrote on TikTok, referencing SZA’s long history of multi-sensory storytelling.

Others began speculating potential opening acts. Could Don Toliver join again? Will she bring out emerging artists from the R&B scene as an intentional platform move?

The speculative buzz shows SZA’s unique relationship with her fanbase—one built on trust, mystery, and the promise that whatever she does next will be worth the wait.

A Testament to Longevity in R&B

The potential Lana Tour represents more than just another leg of promotion—it would be a symbol of SZA’s endurance and artistic evolution. In a genre often dominated by fleeting viral hits, SZA continues to build bodies of work that resonate years after release.

Ctrl, released in 2017, remains a fan-favorite that still charts regularly. SOS became her first No. 1 album and broke records for the longest-running No. 1 on the Billboard R&B Albums chart. Now, Lana expands that legacy further, blending genres, identities, and sounds.

If she goes forward with this tour, SZA wouldn’t just be supporting an album—she’d be supporting an era.

Touring Trends in 2025 and What They Mean for Lana Tour

2025 is shaping up to be a massive year for touring artists. With Beyoncé, The Weeknd, and Travis Scott already teasing global circuits, SZA’s name in the mix only adds to the high-stakes energy.

Live music is evolving too. Fans now expect experiences—not just shows. From augmented reality elements to curated VIP sections and meet-and-greets that reflect artist values, the pressure is on to create something memorable.

If the Lana Tour goes forward, you can expect a highly curated experience that reflects SZA’s roots in astrology, vulnerability, and empowerment. Merchandise? Expect crystals, oversized hoodies, and incense kits. Visuals? Think ethereal with a touch of 90s surrealism. Sound? Alternative R&B meets soft rock meets acoustic soul.

What’s Next for SZA?

Besides the teased tour, SZA remains one of the most in-demand artists across the music industry. Rumors of more collaborations with artists like Frank Ocean, Steve Lacy, and even Tyler, The Creator have been circulating online.

Her Grand National run wraps in Europe in August, so a fall 2025 Lana Tour isn’t out of the question. Knowing SZA, she’ll likely take her time—but when she arrives, the show will be unforgettable.
