UPDATE: Drake’s rep has confirmed that his remaining Australian and New Zealand shows have been cancelled. This means his shows originally scheduled for Brisbane on the 4th of March, Sydney on the 7th of March, and then Auckland on the 14th and 15th of March will no longer go ahead.
The news was originally shared in an exclusive quote to Rolling Stone AU/NZ, which reads: “Due to a scheduling conflict, four of Drake’s 16 sold-out shows in Australia and New Zealand will be postponed. We are actively working on rescheduling these dates along with adding some additional shows.”
“All tickets for the affected shows will remain valid for the new dates. Refunds will be available for those who prefer, but please note that as these shows are sold out, any refunded tickets will be released for sale. We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience. Drake and the entire team have had an incredible time doing these shows and are excited to return soon.”
“We look forward to sharing the rescheduled dates with you as soon as possible.”
While the news is surprising to ticket holders, Drake’s Boeing 757 private jet (N757CJ) left Brisbane at 6 am on the morning of the 26th of February and made a B-line to Nadi, Fiji. Many had assumed that Drake would simply be stopping over for a few days before returning to Brisbane. However, this was merely a refuelling stop, and FlightRadar24 tracking shows the jet is currently three-quarters of the way to Honolulu where it will likely refuel before continuing on to Toronto, Canada. See ya Drizzy!
Original story continues: Just weeks after Tyler, The Creator announced his ‘CHROMAKOPIA: THE WORLD TOUR’ was stopping in Australia and New Zealand, five-time Grammy-award-winning and multi-platinum global artist Drake has confirmed that his ‘The Anita Max Win Tour’ will be coming to Australia in February 2025.
With shows scheduled for Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane, the tour succeeds the ‘It’s All A Blur Tour’, which included 80 sold-out shows across North America and brought 21 Savage and J. Cole to the stage.
