In news fans saw coming and were waiting for, Canadian hip-hop icon Drake announced a 2025 Australian tour today (29 November).
Earlier this month, Drake started teasing his impending return by sharing an old photo of himself looking over at the Sydney Opera House with the caption “It’s been like 7 years” and three pairs of cheeky eyeballs looking sideways emojis.
This week, the rapper upped the ante by outlining his plans for his 2025 return. “I'm coming to Australia for the first time in eight years, coming back to Australia on tour – it's actually, funnily enough, called the Anita Max Win tour,” he said on an Instagram Live video.
The tour's dates, venues, and ticketing information were announced today. Here’s everything you need to know.
