AceShowbiz - Drake has confirmed his return to Australia for a tour kicking off on February 9, 2025. The tour, named the Anita Max Wynn Tour, marks Drake's first visit to the country in eight years.
"February 9th for anybody that's watching from Australia, I'm coming back to Australia for the first time in eight years. Coming back to Australia on tour," Drake announced during a livestream.
The tour will include stops in Melbourne, Sydney, and the Gold Coast, but specific dates and venues have yet to be revealed. Drake hinted that other cities might be added to the itinerary, but Adelaide, which was previously rumored to be a potential stop, has not been confirmed.
The "Anita Max Wynn Tour" takes its name from Drake's alter ego, a cartoon character with a pink and yellow outfit and a bob haircut. Drake often uses the pseudonym and caricature as a gambling mascot.
Drake's last performance in Australia was during his 2017 Boy Meets World Tour. The announcement of the Anita Max Wynn Tour has been met with excitement from Australian fans, who have long been anticipating his return.
In addition to his tour announcement, Drake provided an update on his forthcoming collaborative album with PARTYNEXTDOOR, saying that it is 75% complete. Drake and PARTYNEXTDOOR announced their joint album in August while performing together in Toronto.
The "Anita Max Wynn Tour" is expected to draw significant interest, with Ticketek already posting a waitlist on its website. Drake has a massive following in Australia, with 73.8 million monthly listeners on Spotify.
