Drake announced the concert on Instagram, Tuesday. The post was commented on with excitement by French Montana, Ty Dolla Sign, Roy Woods, and more.

Sound 42 plays host to OVO Sound Radio, the station's flagship show co-founded by Drake, Oliver El-Khatib, and Noah “40” Shebib in 2015.

The Apollo Theater performance comes four months after the release of Drake's latest project, Honestly, Nevermind. The album debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 with 204,000 album-equivalent units, despite a more polarizing response than the majority of Drake's other works.

Following his recent feature on DJ Khaled‘s “Staying Alive” alongside Lil Baby, Drake surpassed The Beatles to become the artist with the most top five hits in Billboard Hot 100 history.

Drake's concert at the Apollo is scheduled for Friday, November 11, 2022. Check out his announcement on Instagram below.
