Drake has sent a love note to his hometown of Toronto as he gears up to hit the road on his It’s All A Blur Tour with 21 Savage.
The massive 54-date trek kicks off on June 29 in Memphis and swings through cities including Houston, Miami, Atlanta and more before closing out with two shows in Toronto on October 5 and October 7.
It marks his first North American tour since 2018’s Aubrey & the Three Migos Tour alongside Migos – and he explained his lack of touring since in his post.
“Goodbye my beautiful city,” he wrote on his Instagram Story on Monday (June 12) with a beautiful photo of a sunset behind the CN Tower. “I haven’t left for this reason in over 6 years but I hope I can make you proud once again. I love you all. Have an amazing summer and pls try to take care of each other. See you in October.”

The tour comes in support of Drake and 21’s joint album Her Loss, which arrived in November and features appearances from Travis Scott, Birdman, Lil Yachty and more. It debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with over 400,000 album-equivalent units in its first week — the highest sales tally in Hip Hop for 2022.
Drake surprised fans in April when he opened up for Lil Wayne in Toronto this week as part of his Welcome to Tha Carter Tour.
Weezy performed at HISTORY, the 2,500 capacity venue Drizzy opened in 2021, on April 12 where the Young Money protégé hit the stage to run through a medley of hits that included “Marvins Room,” “Jungle,” “Know Yourself,” “Rich Flex,” “Sicko Mode,” “Feel No Ways” and “Nonstop,” among other songs.
