Drake

Drake’s love affair with Australia just got sweeter. The Toronto megastar has added two extra dates to his highly anticipated 2025 The Anita Max Win Tour, bringing more heat to Sydney and Brisbane.

Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena will now host Drake on Wednesday, February 19, while Brisbane’s Entertainment Centre gets its turn on Tuesday, February 25. This adds to the previously announced Melbourne show at Rod Laver Arena on Wednesday, February 12, after the initial leg sold out faster than you could say “Hotline Bling.”

The tour, kicks off on February 9 in Melbourne, wrapping up in Auckland after multiple shows in key cities. Fans Down Under have been waiting since Drake’s 2017 Boy Meets World Tour for another chance to witness the rap icon in action.

Hot on the heels of his blockbuster It’s All A Blur Tour, which smashed it with 80 sold-out shows across North America, Drake’s The Anita Max Win Tour is primed to be another chapter in his unparalleled global domination.

Since bursting onto the scene in 2009 with his groundbreaking EP So Far Gone, Drake has been redefining the limits of hip hop. The Canadian megastar’s journey from underground mixtapes to record-breaking albums has solidified his status as one of the most influential artists of the 21st century.

Fast forward to 2018, Drake dropped the monumental double LP Scorpion, delivering 25 tracks of platinum-certified hits. His subsequent U.S. tour, Aubrey & the Three Migos, cemented his reputation as a must-see performer, featuring surprise appearances from the likes of Meek Mill and Travis Scott.

The last five years have seen Drake in peak creative form, dropping chart-topping projects that continue to push boundaries. Highlights include his 2019 compilation album Care Package, the record-breaking Certified Lover Boy (2021), the surprise dance-infused Honestly, Nevermind (2022), and his Billboard-dominating collab with 21 Savage, Her Loss.

Most recently, Drake released his eighth studio album, For All The Dogs, via OVO Sound and Republic Records. In 2023 and 2024, he joined forces with 21 Savage and J. Cole for the It’s All A Blur Tour, a two-leg, 80-date spectacle that sold out across North America and further proved why Drake remains one of the most electrifying forces in music today.
