Kendrick Lamar at Newcastle Arena: Are tickets still available, how to see the show and possible setlist

California-born superstar Kendrick Lamar is heading to the UK in November and Newcastle’s Utilita Arena is one of the places he’ll be hitting during his time on this side of the Atlantic.

It has been a huge year for the artist, who was born in Compton. After a period out of the limelight, he returned with a bang in May when he released his fifth studio album Mr Morale and the Big Steppers. The record reached the number one spot in charts across the world and gave him further material for his iconic headline set at Glastonbury this year.

The in-demand shows have had plenty of music fans talking, and here’s all you need to know about the tour.

When is Kendrick Lamar playing in Newcastle?

The Newcastle date of the tour will be on Friday, November 4 and will mark the rapper’s third UK show of the tour. North East fans will have been waiting a while for the date after his previous ‘Damn' tour skipped the region in February 2018.

He has previously played at the arena, however. This came when he supported Drake at the venue in 2012.
