Drake Promises a “Very, Very Special Show” on His Long-Awaited Australian Tour, Kicking Off in 2025
Drake has officially unveiled his excitement for Australia as he prepares to return Down Under for the highly anticipated Anita Max Win Tour. This marks the rapper’s first Australian visit in eight years, and fans are eagerly anticipating the experience.
During a lively Drizzmas Giveaway stream with Kick streamer Adin Ross, Drake opened up about his deep affection for Australia and teased what’s to come on tour. To make the announcement even more thrilling, he surprised fans with extravagant gifts, including two all-expenses-paid trips to attend his concerts in Australia.
“It’s Australia—it’s a beautiful place. I hope everybody gets a chance to see it. It is stunning, the people are incredible. I remember one of my first experiences having a white wine at Bondi Beach, and I was just like, wow. It reminded me how big the world is,” Drake shared passionately. “Australia is one of the most incredible places on planet Earth. I’m so excited to be forward after eight years. I have a very, very special show for you.”
Fans were further charmed as Drake showcased his playful side by attempting an Australian accent during the stream. “I can’t wait to see all my Australias. I’m keen, mate, easy as. I can’t wait to touch down, mate,” he quipped, leaving viewers delighted and more eager than ever for the tour.
The Anita Max Win Tour officially kicks off at Perth’s RAC Arena on February 4, 2025, before making stops in major cities such as Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane. The tour will conclude in Auckland, New Zealand, on March 1. Initially announced with seven dates, the tour quickly expanded to 13 shows due to overwhelming demand from fans eager to catch the global superstar live.
The tour’s intriguing title stems from a viral December 2023 livestream where Drake introduced his alter ego, Anita Max Win, a nod to popular gambling slang. Since his last Australian visit in 2017, Drake has released several chart-topping albums, including Scorpion (2018), Certified Lover Boy (2021), Her Loss (2022), and For All The Dogs (2023), solidifying his status as one of the most influential artists in the industry.
Beyond the tour announcement, Drake’s generosity took center stage during the Drizzmas Giveaway. The rapper gifted fans with a luxurious G Wagon, three family cars, $250,000 to help a fan in financial distress, and covered a year’s rent for two others. His heartfelt gestures have only heightened the anticipation surrounding his Australian tour.
With eight years of anticipation, a reputation for unforgettable live performances, and his undeniable connection with fans, Drake’s Anita Max Win Tour is shaping up to be a once-in-a-lifetime experience for his Australian audience. Stay tuned for what promises to be one of 2025’s most talked-about tours.
