Just hold on, we’re going on tour.
After teasing a U.S.and Canada jaunt back in December, Drake has finally officially announced his summer 2023 ‘It’s All A Blur’ tour with 21 Savage.
The Toronto-based rapper will play arenas all over North America from June through September.
“Ah, man, I can’t wait to see the people, “Drake said in his late 2022 podcast appearance talking about his upcoming nationwide trek.
“It’s different when you’re performing, you look out in the crowd, someone locks eyes with you and you can just tell it’s a moment.”
Prior to the tour, Drake is scheduled to headline alongside J. Cole, Usher and Burna Boy at Raleigh, NC’s Dreamville Festival from April 1-2.
Then, midway through the 29-show run, Champagne Papi’s tour stops in New York City for four huge concerts — first up, he’ll play Brooklyn’s Barclays Center on July 17 and July 18; the next week, he swings into NYC’s Madison Square Garden for back-to-back gigs on July 25 and July 26.
‘It’s All A Blur’ will be the hitmaker’s first since his 2018 “Aubrey & The Three Migos Live!” Tour.
