When Drake Concert Tour Dates?
Drake is one of the giants of music in the present generation. The music artist from Canada is a rapper, singer, songwriter, and actor who has been dominating the charts and ticket sales for more than ten years now. The most recent album “Honestly, Nevermind” was launched in June 2022, and people are looking forward to watching the singer dance to new songs as well as the popular songs during a concert tour.
Now when can fans anticipate that Drake will come up with a new concert tour? Although there is no official word on this, there are some signals that would indicate that Drake's tour dates could be out soon.
Drake’s Last Tour Was Three Years Ago
Drake’s last solo concert tour was the Assassination Vacation Tour which was in support of his fifth studio album Scorpion, which commenced in the early months of 2019 and concluded in the latter part of the same year, in November, due to the outbreak of the Covid 19 virus, this tour took Drake to North America, Europe, and Australia.
It is important to note that since the beginning of his career about three and half years ago, Drake has not done any proper concert tours. Many artists like him, who are usually on the road, may be longing to start planning more tours already shortly. Big artists usually promote new albums through concerts once or twice a year, so Drake needs new concerts.
He Has Teased Wanting to Tour His New Album
Since the release of Drake’s seventh album “Honestly, Nevermind,” Drake has given hints about touring for the new music. During an interview after the album's release in June this year, Drake told the media, that he is looking forward to performing the songs.
It appears that Drake has already started planning in his head as to how he can add the new vibey, house music tunes into an energetic arena show. Videos of him dancing to songs from the album have also created anticipation from audiences anticipating a new tour.
Appearances at More Than One Festival Might Be Followed By a Tour
For the record, Drake has not embarked on his solo music tour in the recent past but has performed in several festivals across the world. The previous year, he performed at the Rolling Loud festivals in New York and California. Then over this summer, he made a surprise appearance at Wireless Fest in London and OVO Fest in Toronto.
Music analysts believe these recent festival performances are rehearsals for Drake and his band in anticipation of a large-scale arena concert tour. These patterns indicate that there are more tour date announcements to be expected after his past summer festival performances.
He’s Working with Other Big Artists He Can Open for.
In 2022 this artist has been working with his fellow renowned artists such as 21 Savage, DJ Khaled, and Travis Scott. Drake also collaborated with 21 Savage to premier the performance of their recent single “Rich Flex” at Drake’s OVO Fest in Toronto this August.
Some of the rumors that are circulating in the music industry suggest that Drake has more music collaborations with other big artists in the pipeline for the next few months. Some people say that he is building these partnerships with the view to hosting a very big joint tour next year. Several artists such as 21 Savage, Travis Scott, and Lil Baby, among others, could be invited to open for Drake or perform in some shows.
How to Book Big Venues for 2023
As of now, there are no announced dates for a 2023 tour, but all indications lead to Drake preparing for a massive concert run next year. Some of the stadiums and venues in North America, Europe, and Australia have empty slots from the middle of the year 2023.
As insiders pointed out these large gaps are usually very tightly booked arenas and stadiums which might be holding dates for a future Drake tour announcement. If he does decide to capitalize on this and go on a long world tour in 2023, the audience can likely look forward to several shows in every city.
When Will Drake Officially Announce a Tour?
So when will official tour dates and tickets be made available? Concert announcement rumors are building for this fall based on Drake’s prior tour cycles and strategic planning in 2021. Some expect him to declare an official tour in October or November, which may lead to concerts starting in January next year.
As more arena locations continue to publicly ‘tease’ what appears to be a massive Drake tour in 2023, fans are becoming increasingly optimistic that they will receive a tour announcement before the year ends. Music blogging sites and fan pages will probably follow Drake’s social media profiles for any official announcement about the concert schedule in the following months.
It is the Right Time for a Major Comeback Tour
Drake has been tactical by avoiding solo concert touring for most of the past few years. It could also be the best time for Drake to get back on the big stage after doing cameo performances at festivals to ‘warm himself up’ for the next major world arena tour set for 2023.
The audience is craving to witness one of the most engaging performers in the music industry performing a complete set. Drake understands that fans are always eager to know when he will embark on his next tour. As a result, when he next goes on a tour, men and women will be flocking to the venues with new music in hand ready to buy tickets.
How Long Could a Drake Tour Last
When Drake does get back to the road, don’t expect it to be a small tour either. If we are to look into his previous tours, Drake has demonstrated that he is capable of doing extensive, ridiculously long tours filled with shows.
His “Summer Sixteen Tour” lasted over two months and “Boy Meets World Tour” lasted almost eight months from July 2017 to February 2018. As we saw earlier, in his last solo concert tour in 2019, Drake was constantly touring for almost the better part of the year.
Drake’s tours have evolved into marathon events that demonstrate his discipline and determination to keep satisfying fans across the world. Since it has been three years since the last serious Drake tour, fans can probably guess that he will set off on a long, multi-month (if not longer) tour when the new 2023 tour dates are released.
