Drake and PARTYNEXTDOOR Reveal $ome $pecial $hows for UK and Europe—First European Tour Since 2019

Drake and PARTYNEXTDOOR Take Europe by Storm: First Major Shows in Five Years

You know what feels like ages? Waiting for Drake to perform in Europe. Since his wild Assassination Vacation Tour back in 2019, he’s been keeping fans on the edge. Finally, that dry spell’s over—he's announced a fresh set of arena dates across the UK and Europe, this time alongside longtime collaborator PARTYNEXTDOOR. They're calling it the Drake & PARTYNEXTDOOR: $ome $pecial $hows 4 UK/EU tour, and it’s the reunion fans have been craving.

Let’s run through the facts. The tour kicks off in Birmingham on July 20–21 at the Utilita Arena, then heads north for two nights at Manchester’s glossy new Co-op Live on July 25–26. But that’s just the beginning. After shaking up the UK, the duo crosses the channel for massive dates across the continent: Amsterdam, Antwerp, Zurich, Cologne, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Milan, Paris, Berlin, Munich, and wrapping up in Hamburg on September 22–23 at the Barclays Arena. If there’s a European city that loves hip-hop, chances are it’s on the list.

Wireless Festival: Three Nights, Full Drake, A-List Company

Before the properly ticketed arena madness, something electric is happening in London. For the first time ever, Drake is headlining every single night of the legendary Wireless Festival in Finsbury Park (July 11–13). He’s not showing up solo either—PARTYNEXTDOOR’s in tow for every evening, joined by names like Burna Boy, Summer Walker, and Vybz Kartel. Festivalgoers get three different lineups, so there’s no déjà vu here—expect surprise cameos and unexpected collabs.

If you’re wondering how hungry fans are, tickets answer that question loud and clear. After presale launched on June 4, the general sale hit on June 6—and buzz is everywhere. Getting a decent seat now feels a bit like finding gold dust. That isn’t surprising, given Drake’s recent record: his It’s All A Blur Tour (2023–2024) was a sell-out blitz from coast to coast, and he just wrapped his explosive Anita Max Win run in Australia, backed by a parade of hip-hop’s finest names.

For PARTYNEXTDOOR, this tour’s a big deal too. The Canadian artist’s chemistry with Drake is the stuff of OVO legend, and live, their combined catalogue is built to blow the roof off arenas. Fans have had almost five years to build anticipation—and now there’s plenty of shows, plenty of cities, and no excuses left.

So if you’re in the UK or Europe and tired of waiting, it’s time to get hyped. The summer and early autumn calendar just got a huge upgrade. And for anyone who’s been itching to see OVO Sound’s finest back-to-back—this is one tour you probably don’t want to miss.
