Drake Teases 2024 International Tour and Joint Album with PARTYNEXTDOOR
Drake has been relatively quiet on the music front lately, with the exception of his recent collaboration with Chino Pacas. Fans have been eagerly awaiting new material, particularly his highly anticipated joint album with PARTYNEXTDOOR. Though the album’s release date remains unclear, Drake has been dropping hints that suggest 2024 could be the year he returns to the global stage.
On November 11, the rapper took to his Instagram Story to stoke rumors of an upcoming international tour. His post? A nostalgic photo of himself gazing at the Sydney Opera House, a moment captured during his last performance in Sydney back in 2015. In the caption, Drake wrote, “It’s been like 7 years.” While the math may be slightly off, the message was clear: it’s been nearly a decade since Drake last performed in Australia, and he could be gearing up to return in 2024.
This Instagram post wasn’t the first time Drake has teased an international tour. A few months ago, he shared grainy photos of what appeared to be merchandise for a potential tour titled “No One Likes Us.” The images, along with a cryptic “Euro 2024” message, hinted at a European leg for the tour. Though the authenticity of the merch has yet to be confirmed, the signs point to a major global tour coinciding with new music.
Drake’s recent social media activity suggests that the release of the PARTYNEXTDOOR album is imminent. On November 7, he commented “THAT TIME” under a PND Instagram post, further fueling rumors that the album is just around the corner. If the album drops as planned in the fall, it’s logical that Drake would want to capitalize on the momentum with a world tour. This would also serve to silence some of the criticisms he faced in his public back-and-forth with Kendrick Lamar.
However, with 2024 winding down, time is running out for Drake to finalize his tour plans. If the album release gets delayed or logistics for the international tour prove more complicated than expected, fans might have to wait until 2025 for both the album and the tour. Despite this, Drake’s eagerness to return to the stage is clear, and fans are hoping for specific tour dates sooner rather than later.
In the meantime, Drake’s quiet presence on the music scene has only added to the anticipation for his next big moves, both musically and live on stage.
