Drake adds North American dates in 2023, new shows in Toronto

Drake is expanding his 2023 “It’s All a Blur Tour” with rapper 21 Savage to include new cities, including stops in Toronto.

The Canadian rapper delayed the start of the tour, shelving shows in New Orleans, Nashville, Houston, Dallas, Miami, and Atlanta until late summer.

The new cities added include Toronto, Columbus, Memphis, Denver, Austin, Milwaukee, and Charlotte. The two concerts in Toronto at Scotiabank Arena are tentatively scheduled for October 5 and 7.

The Toronto pre-sale is slated to begin at 10 a.m. ET on April 27. The general public sale will be held a day later, at 1 p.m. ET on April 28.

Other Canadian stops include two shows in Montreal at the Bell Centre (July 14 and July 15) and Vancouver at Rogers Arena (August 28 and August 29).

Drake has not yet confirmed OVO Fest 2023, typically performed in the summer.

In March, Drake fans filed a class-action lawsuit against Ticketmaster. He claimed that seat prices for the original run of shows were artificially inflated.

The Canadian rapper is coming off two album releases in 2022, including “Honestly, Nevermind” and a collab album with 21 Savage, titled “Her Loss.” Both albums received mixed reviews from music critics despite performing well on the charts.
