Drake is heading back across the Atlantic with PARTYNEXTDOOR in tow for a summer 2025 arena tour that marks his first run through the UK and Europe in six years.
The tour, titled $ome $pecial $hows 4 UK/EU, was revealed Tuesday morning (June 3) and will include a three-night headlining slot at Wireless Festival in London from July 11-13, where both artists will perform each night.
The announcement comes just months after the duo released their joint album, $ome $exy $ongs 4 U, on February 14.
“FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 6 YEARS, DRAKE PERFORMING THE HITS, OLD AND NEW, ACROSS THE WATERS,” Drake wrote in all caps, confirming the long-awaited return.
The tour will hit major cities across the continent, including Amsterdam, Antwerp, Zurich, Cologne, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Milan, Berlin, Munich and Hamburg. PARTYNEXTDOOR will appear as the special guest for every show.
Tickets for the tour go on sale Friday (June 6) at 12 p.m. local time.
The announcement follows the commercial success of their collaborative album, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200.

The 21-track project moved 246,000 album-equivalent units in its first week, including 25,000 in pure album sales.
It marked Drake’s 14th No. 1 album in the U.S. and PARTYNEXTDOOR’s first chart-topping release.
The album, released via OVO, Santa Anna and Republic Records, also broke the first-day streaming record for an R&B/Soul album on Apple Music.
Tracks like “Crying in Chanel” and “Somebody Loves Me” were teased by Drake ahead of the release and quickly became fan favorites.
Drake’s last European tour was the Assassination Vacation Tour in 2019.
