- The Big Steppers Tour is the ongoing fifth solo concert tour, and sixth overall, by American rapper Kendrick Lamar, in support of his fifth studio album Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers (2022). The arena tour commenced on June 23, 2022, in Milan, and will conclude on December 17, 2022, in Auckland, spanning 77 shows. It is Lamar's first solo concert tour since The DAMN. Tour (2017–18). Described as "a form of 21st century hip hop opera", the tour reflected key themes of Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers by incorporating minimalism and performance art. Its all white stage is split up into three sections connected by a white catwalk, while featuring a white curtain draping over the main stage and a mirrored elevator on the lower stage. Narrated by English actress Helen Mirren, the tour's concept follows the album's titular character, Mr. Morale, as he is guided by his therapist to escape his comfort zone. Light art, props and shadow play are heavily utilized throughout the performance as tools to enhance its storytelling aspects. The Big Steppers Tour received rave reviews from critics, who commonly labeled it as Lamar's best and most realized tour to date. His "stoic" performance, concept and "high art" inspired stage production were the subjects of universal praise. It was deemed the greatest hip hop show of all time by The Guardian, who writes that Lamar "takes the opportunity that his 'Greatest Rapper Alive' status affords to experiment with form, content and stagecraft in ways that the culture has not seen before." The October 22 show at Accor Arena in Paris was recorded and released as a Prime Video original concert film of the same name. (en)
