Drake is expected to perform a different setlist each night. He'll also be joined by various special guests. PartyNextDoor and Summer Walker will join him on night one, followed by "the mandem" on night two, and Burna Boy and Vybz Kartel on night three.

The announcement comes as Drake and PartyNextDoor's new album continues to break records. It got the most first-day streams for an R&B/soul album in Apple Music history, for example. Drake even broke the record for the biggest streaming day for any rapper in 2025, a record previously held by Kendrick Lamar. He appears to throw at least a few jabs at the Compton hitmaker on $$$4U. According to DJ Akademiks, however, the album is not about about him. The internet personality sat down with TMZ following the release, revealing that he spoke to Drake about his intentions.
"I spoke to Drake and shoot, after watching Kendrick's performance that felt so obsessed with Drake at the Super Bowl, I actually asked him. I said 'hey bro, I hope this album is not gonna be completely obsessed with this guy.' And he actually told me directly, he said 'hey listen, I'm not giving him any more energy,'" Akademiks explained. "People want him to weep and come out and cry [...] No he's not gonna do that."
