After the 6 God pushed his and 21 Savage's tour dates from summer to fall, fans expressed outrage and disappointment on social media.

Drake caused an uproar online after he rescheduled his dates for his upcoming tour with 21 Savage. Moreover, a lot of people specifically took issue with the dates moving from summer of this year to this fall. After all, for such an anticipated and expensive tour, many die-hards probably made big changes to their schedule to attend. That being said, not all tour dates saw a change. New Orleans, Nashville, Houston, Dallas, Miami, and Atlanta dates moving from summer to fall were the ones that fans decried.

Of course, this simply adds to grievances with this concert trek for a lot of supporters out there. For example, the "It's All A Blur" tour first saw criticism for its insanely high ticket prices, with some comparing it to the likes of Taylor Swift and Beyoncé shows. However, that might not be entirely the organizers' fault, as Ticketmaster often gets flack for how they "dynamically" shift prices to accommodate for massive demand. In addition, Drake and 21 Savage added various tour dates to the trek as well, so one person's trash in Houston will be another's treasure in, for example, Charlotte.

Drake Fans Mad That He Changed Tour Dates Around

Still, that doesn't make the sting any less potent for a lot of OVO goons. While it's been a long time since Drake embarked on a tour (since 2018 to be exact), recent shows gave fans hope and proof that this one will be excellent. One of these shows was the 6 God's run in the historic Apollo Theater in Harlem, New York City. During this and other recent performances, the "Nice For What" MC ran through his classic catalog and his most recent big hits.

Meanwhile, other aspects of the 36-year-old's live shows left fans with a sour taste in their mouths. Specifically, his Lollapalooza set this year resulted in a late start, short performance, and a canceled livestream. If that sounds familiar, it's because Coachella and Frank Ocean proved just weeks later that those issues can often plague festival headliners. Still, that doesn't make it an easier pill to swallow for fans, especially when the blame is unclear. Regardless, check back in with HNHH for the latest happenings from Drake and check out fan reactions down below.
