Drake is set to return to UK stages this summer with his ‘$ome $pecial $hows 4 UK’ tour, marking his first performances in the region since 2019’s ‘Assassination Vacation’ tour.
The Canadian artist will be joined by long-time collaborator PARTYNEXTDOOR for a series of arena dates.
The tour kicks off with two nights at Birmingham’s Utilita Arena on July 20 and 21, followed by performances at Manchester’s Co-op Live on July 25 and 26. These shows come on the heels of Drake’s headlining appearances at London’s Wireless Festival from July 11 to 13, where he is scheduled to perform unique sets each night.
Tickets for the UK dates will be available through presales starting Wednesday, June 4, with general sales commencing on Friday, June 6, via Live Nation and Ticketmaster. Mastercard holders can access preferred tickets in select countries, including the UK, starting June 6 at 12 pm local time.
The tour supports Drake and PARTYNEXTDOOR’s collaborative album, $ome $exy $ongs 4 U, released on February 14, 2025. The album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 and features a blend of R&B, hip-hop, and trap influences. It includes guest appearances from artists like Pim, Yebba, and Chino Pacas. Despite some controversies regarding its promotional materials, the album has been a commercial success, with all 21 tracks entering the Billboard Hot 100.
Drake’s return to the UK is highly anticipated, given his absence from the region’s stages for over six years. Fans can expect a mix of new material from the recent album and classics from his extensive catalogue.
