In a matter of days, Kendrick Lamar and friends will be taking over the Kia Forum in Inglewood, California for a very special celebration presented by pgLang and Free Lunch.

The event, dubbed The Pop Out, is billed as featuring "Ken and friends," a tease of a phrase that’s sure to pique interest for those in Cali and beyond. Doors for the June 19 (i.e. Juneteenth) celebratory moment are set to open at the decidedly easy-on-fans-of-all-ages time of 3 p.m. PT, with the show itself kicking off at 4 p.m.

While general ticket sales for The Pop Out begin this Friday at 10 a.m. PT via Ticketmaster, Cash App Card customers will get first dibs one day earlier. On June 6 from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. local time, those with a Cash App Card can use the first nine digits of their respect card to gain access.

Of course, it should go without saying that this does indeed mark Kendrick's first major event since his and Drake's historic back-and-forth. In terms of new music from Kendrick unrelated to his recent string of blockbuster diss tracks, it's worth mentioning that we're now about two years removed from his most recent studio full-length, Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers. Speculation has been high, especially in recent weeks, with regards to chances of Kendrick rolling out a new full-length at some point this year.
