Drake And PARTYNEXTDOOR Announce Summer 2025 Overseas Tour '$ome $pecial $hows 4 U'
Drake and PARTYNEXTDOOR have one of the most popular projects of the year, and now they're bringing the function overseas. The duo recently announced a joint tour, $ome $pecial $hows 4 U, with stops in Europe and the United Kingdom. They let the world know they'll be hitting the road once again via Instagram in a collaborative post with the Drake Related page earlier this week. Their string of performances will kick off with the 6 God's three-night headlining set at Wireless Festival in London, England, from July 11th to July 13th. Drizzy will be joined by PND and Summer Walker the first night, 'The Mandem' on the second, and Burna Boy and Vybz Kartel on the final evening. Given his affinity for UK rappers and previous collaborations with Central Cee, Dave, Skepta, and more, it is easy to assume who will be part of 'The Mandem' joining him for the second Wireless Festival show. They'll then take a quick break before making stops in Birmingham, Manchester, Amsterdam, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Milan, Paris, and Berlin. The tour will end in September with two shows in Hamburg, Germany. Tickets go on sale this Friday (June 6) on either or This will be Drake's second tour of 2025, following his trek through Australia back in February. The Anita Max Win tour went viral several times for him sporting a hoodie with bullet holes that had smoke coming out of them, and him making several speeches about the fact that he is 'still alive' despite all he endured in 2024 with the rap beef versus Kendrick Lamar and other rappers. The tour was unfortunately cut short due to scheduling conflicts, but the 38-year-old artist promised Australia that he wouldn't let another decade pass by before coming back to perform. PARTYNEXTDOOR joined him down under right around when they released their joint album $ome $exy $ongs 4 U on Valentine's Day. $$$4U is a 21-song effort that debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and spawned the Billboard Hot 100 No. 2 hit 'Nokia.'

Drake announces UK summer tour as he returns for the first time in six years - but will he face an awkward run in with nemesis Kendrick Lamar?
Drake has announced his highly-anticipated return to Europe and the UK for the first time in six years following his 2019 Assassination Vacation Tour.. The five-time Grammy-award winning artist will be landing in the UK in July for his $ome $pecial $hows tour. Kicking things off with two dates in Birmingham at the Utilita Arena on July 20 and 21, he will then perform two dates in Manchester at the Co-op Live on July 25 and 26, before heading to Europe. However Drake could face an award run in with his nemesis Kendrick Lamar who is also scheduled to tour the UK in the same month. Tickets will go on sale via on Friday, June 6 and an additional Live Nation pre-sale will take place on Wednesday 4 June. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. It comes after Drake was announced to be making history as he headlines London's Wireless festival for all three nights. He will make history as the world's first artist to headline a festival for three nights with three different setlists later this year, with each night featuring unique setlists and special guests. The festival sold out within minutes, marking the fastest sell-out in its 20-year history. Meanwhile Toronto-born Drake and multi Grammy winner Kendrick have been embroiled in a furious rivalry for years, despite collaborating on each other's records in the early days of their careers. Drake had desperately tried to prevent Lamar from performing his scathing diss track Not Like Us, in which he refers to the Canadian as a 'certified pedophile,' to 83,000 fans at the game. He had reportedly banned his close friends from watching the set and refused to talk about it. But despite his failure to veto the track, he was 'happy' that viewers tuning in at home were less than impressed by Lamar's performance. 'Drake put his friends on a Super Bowl ban and did not tune into the show,' an insider told 'He was not able to stop Not Like Us from being played and wasn't happy about it. 'He knows it resonated with Kendrick's target audience who have basically exiled him.' The source added, 'But he is happy that people weren't impressed by Kendrick's performance and is feeling better about his chances of a comeback - even if he does feel that he has lost some of his core fans.' Despite Drake recently suing his and Kendrick's record label, Universal Music Group, over the controversial Not Like Us, Kendrick performed the song, but he omitted the accusation. Lamar made reference to the lawsuit before launching into the track, telling the crowd: 'I want to perform their favorite song, but you know they love to sue.' But he did deliver two other controversial lines, including 'Say Drake, I hear you like them young' and 'trying to strike a chord and it's probably a minor.' He also wore a big silver chain pendant with a small letter 'a', an apparent reference to 'A minor' in the lyrics. Drake's tour coincides with Kendrick's date in the UK as he embarks on a series of shows with SZA. The collaborators are bringing their Grand National Tour to Glasgow, Birmingham, London and Cardiff in July. The summer run will begin on July 8 at Glasgow's Hampden Park and wrap at London's Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on July 22.
