Canadian rapper Drake will perform two shows in Amsterdam next month, the concert organizer MOJO confirmed. The performances are scheduled for July 30 and 31 at the Ziggo Dome. PARTYNEXTDOOR will open for Drake as the warm-up act.
Drake’s $ome $pecial $hows 4 EU tour begins in England, with stops in Birmingham and Manchester before arriving in Amsterdam. Ticket prices for the Amsterdam concerts range from 89 to 201 euros. Sales will start on Friday.
Following Amsterdam, Drake will continue his European tour with dates in Antwerp, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Paris, and Berlin. He will also headline the Wireless Festival in London for three nights in July. Tickets for the festival sold out in minutes, marking the fastest sellout in the event’s 20-year history.
Drake last performed in Europe in 2019. During that tour, one of his scheduled shows at the Ziggo Dome was canceled due to scheduling changes. This was not his first canceled Dutch performance; in 2017, he canceled a concert in Amsterdam because of illness.
This will be Drake’s first European tour since his well-known rap rivalry with Kendrick Lamar. The two artists released several tracks taking shots at each other. Lamar famously performed his diss track “Not Like Us” during the Super Bowl halftime show.
Drake is a Grammy Award-winning artist with multiple platinum records. He rose to fame in 2009 with the EP So Far Gone, which sold over 650,000 copies. His latest album, Certified Lover Boy, broke Apple Music’s streaming record within 12 hours of release.
