Drake is going on a North American tour for the first time in five years, and he’s taking 21 Savage along for the ride.
The duo behind chart-topping single “Rich Flex,” which debuted in the top slot of Billboard’s Global 200 chart, will perform a 43-date arena tour this summer, adding 14 more performances to the initial 29 concerts announced. The It’s All a Blur Tour includes stops across the U.S. and Canada kicking off on June 16 in New Orleans and wrapping up in Glendale, Arizona, on Sept. 5.
The last time Drake, 36, went on tour was half a decade ago for the Aubrey & the Three Migos Tour in 2018.
During his break from the road, the rapper put out a number of studio albums including “Her Loss” with 21 Savage, along with a smattering of other releases. The tour’s name is a nod to Drake’s work over the last five years, according to a Monday release.
The announcement delivers on a tease from Drake made during his January performance at the Apollo Theater in Harlem while thanking fans. “I’ll be out and about on the road this year, so I hope to see a lot of the same faces,” he said at the time.
The Canadian rapper took to Instagram to announce the tour Monday with a montage-style video on Instagram. “IT’S ALL A BLUR TOUR with @21savage,” he wrote. “Dates now live on DrakeRelated.com click the link in bio for more information and details for your location.”

Drake and 21 Savage have long history
It’s not surprising to see Drake and 21 Savage touring together, especially after the release of their 16-track project, “Her Loss,” which they performed together at New York’s famed Apollo Theater in January. All 16 tracks on “Her Loss” debuted on Billboard’s Hot 100 last year.
The two also shared the mic on “Mr. Right Now” from 21 Savage’s 2020 “Savage Mode II” album and in turn, 21 Savage was featured on Drake’s 2021 “Certified Lover Boy” with “Knife Talk.” The two also closed out Drake’s 2022 offering “Honestly, Nevermind” with “Jimmy Cooks.”
