Drake Announces First UK and EU Tour in Six Years with PartyNextDoor
Drake remains one of the most dominant forces in global music, and whenever the 6ix God announces new plans, fans around the world take notice. Now, for the first time in six years, Drake is bringing his talents back to the United Kingdom and Europe—and this time, he’s not coming alone. He’ll be joined by longtime collaborator PartyNextDoor in what’s shaping up to be one of the summer’s biggest tours.
Drake’s last tour was marked by tension. He hit the road with J. Cole during a period when fans were urging him to fire back at Kendrick Lamar, who had stirred up the hip-hop world with his verse on “Like That.” Though Drake initially kept quiet, the end of the tour saw him release “Push Ups” and “Taylor Made Freestyle.” However, Kendrick quickly escalated things with his trio of blistering tracks—“Euphoria,” “Meet the Grahams,” and “Not Like Us”—leaving many to declare him the victor in the lyrical feud.
Since then, Drake appears to have shifted his focus. Earlier this year, he dropped a joint album with PartyNextDoor titled $OME $EXY $ONGS 4 U, which has been met with enthusiasm from his most loyal fans. The project, with its smooth, sensual vibe, marked a departure from the high-stakes rap battles of the past year and signaled a new creative chapter.
On June 3, Drake announced that he and PartyNextDoor will embark on a UK and EU tour starting this summer. This will be Drake’s first European tour since 2019, and fans are already buzzing with excitement.
The UK leg kicks off in Birmingham on July 20, with two shows in the city, followed by two more in Manchester. From there, the duo will head to mainland Europe, beginning in the Netherlands on July 30. European stops include Belgium, Switzerland, Germany, Sweden, Denmark, Italy, and France. The tour will conclude on September 23 in Hamburg, Germany.
For Drake, this tour represents more than just a return to the stage—it’s a fresh start after a challenging period. With whispers of a new solo album on the horizon, the momentum from this tour could serve as the perfect lead-in to his next musical era.
European fans who have waited years to see Drake live now have their chance. Given the energy surrounding $OME $EXY $ONGS 4 U and the chemistry between Drake and PartyNextDoor, this tour promises to deliver unforgettable moments and reassert Drake’s place as a global powerhouse in music.
Tickets go on sale this Friday, and full dates can be found on the Drake Related website.
