Kendrick Lamar’s “Damn.” tour is heading to the Palace of Auburn Hills on July 26, promoters announced Monday.

Tickets, $129.50, $79.50 and $49.50, go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday with pre-sales for American Express holders beginning Tuesday.

The tour is in support of Lamar’s “Damn.,” which was released April 13 and debuts at No. 1 on this week’s Billboard 200 chart. The set sold more than 600,000 units its first week, marking the year’s biggest debut so far.

In recent years, Lamar’s touring efforts have been focused on festival dates, and his last local appearance was a Dec. 2013 appearance at the Palace, where he opened for Kanye West during the Yeezus tour.

The Palace show is part of a summer run that begins July 12 in Phoenix and wraps Aug. 6 in Los Angeles.

Lamar will be joined by opening acts Travis Scott and D.R.A.M.
