Drake announces Australian tour for early 2025 - triple j
Drake's barely left our thoughts this year, thanks to a high-profile feud with Kendrick Lamar (that seems to continue on Kendrick's surprise album GNX).
Now he's set to visit us in the flesh as he brings his Anita Max Win tour to Australia and New Zealand in early 2025.
This new tour is Drake's first return down under in eight years, when he brought his Boy Meets World tour in 2017 to stages.
A whole lot has happened since then so these new shows are undoubtedly going to be a wildly different experience.
Drake's Anita Max Win Australian tour kicks off on February 9 in Naarm/Melbourne, before it heads up the east coast and flicks across the ditch to Aotearoa/New Zealand for back to back dates.
Tickets are on sale from 12pm local time on Friday 6 December, with several presales happening in the days prior. Check out the tour's website for more information.
What's Drake been up to since he was last in Australia?In the time since we've had Drake on our shores, he's released four solo albums - Scorpion, Certified Lover Boy, Honestly, Nevermind and For All The Dogs - and the collab album Her Loss with 21 Savage.
21 Savage also joined Drake on the It's All A Blur tour with J. Cole over the last two years, which sold out all 80 dates across North America. So it's pretty certain this return to Australia is going to sell fast.
Kendrick Lamar and Drake's intense feud risks commodifying and objectifying black people, argues hip-hop scholar.
hit boiling point this year as the pair shot barbs at each other over a series of increasingly ugly diss tracks, including Drake's 'Taylor Made Freestyle', 'Push Ups' and 'Family Matters' from Drake and 'The Heart Part 6'.
It's now taken a legal turn as Drake sued his own label this week over the promotion of 'Not Like Us', which he also alleges is defamatory.
Now we have a whole new Kendrick album and an Australian tour from Drake - somehow it's all working out for the fans.
Check out all the dates and details below, and get ready for the big return of Champagne Papi himself.
