UPDATE: Drake has added new Australian tour dates to meet demand.
For the first time in a decade, Drake is heading west.
Announced Friday, December 13th, the hip-hop megastar has added two more dates to his swelling 2025 trek, ‘The Anita Max Win Tour’, including a rare date in Perth.
Produced by Live Nation, the seven-date tour stops at Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena and Brisbane Entertainment Centre, with a second show at Auckland’s Spark Arena on March 1. A third Brisbane show is set for Tuesday, March 4, and another Sydney date has been added for Friday, March 7, making it five shows in Sydney.
The WA show will be Drizzy’s first since 2015’s ‘Would You Like A Tour?’, a Perth side show of the now-defunct Future Music Festival.
Produced by Live Nation, the ‘Anita Max Win Tour’ now spans 13 Australasian shows, wrapping with two nights at Auckland’s Spark Arena.
Drake has almost doubled his initial tally of 2025 ANZ dates. When the tour was first announced, just seven shows were pencilled in.
While Brisbane has dropped off a slew of international tours, Perth is enjoying a renaissance. Coldplay performed two exclusive shows at Optus Stadium in 2023, while Metallica have announced they will play Perth in 2025 for their ‘M72′ run.
The Toronto native’s tour takes its name from a viral moment from his December 2023 livestream on Kick, where Drake introduced the alter ego “Anita Max Win” – a play on the gambling expression “I need a max win,” the maximum bonanza paid out on the slots.
Earlier this year, Drake teased his return by way of a cryptic Instagram story, with the artist enjoying the views of Sydney Harbour. “It’s been like seven years,” he wrote, signing off with the eyes emoji.
Drake is a bonafide rap giant in these parts. His eighth and most recent studio album, For All the Dogs, blasted to No. 1 on the ARIA Chart in October 2023, for his fifth leader. He also topped the leaderboard in 2016 with Views, in 2018 with Scorpion, in 2020 with Dark Lane Demo Tapes and in 2021 with Certified Lover Boy.
New music is on the way. In August 2024, following an ugly beef with Kendrick Lamar, Drake announced he was collaborating with PartyNextDoor on a new LP.
