Drake Plots His UK and Europe Comeback With PARTYNEXTDOOR in 2025
If you’re into arena-sized hip hop spectacles, here’s something you can’t miss: Drake is heading back to the UK and Europe in summer 2025—and he’s not coming alone. The Canadian rapper brings PARTYNEXTDOOR as his special guest for the freshly announced $ome $pecial $hows 4 UK/EU tour. This marks Drake’s live return to the region for the first time since 2019, when his Assassination Vacation tour left fans hungry for more.
The first stop is a big one: Drake will handle not just one but three back-to-back headlining slots at London’s Wireless Festival (July 11–13) at Finsbury Park. Each night comes with a promise—unique setlists every evening. That means different tracks, vibes, and surprises for whoever splurges on multiple tickets. He’ll be joined at Wireless by fellow hitmakers like Summer Walker, Burna Boy, and Vybz Kartel, making this the lineup that everybody’s talking about for 2025 summer festivals.
Once the Wireless stages cool off, Drake and PARTYNEXTDOOR take things up north with two shows in Birmingham (July 20–21) at the city’s top arena, followed by another double feature in Manchester (July 25–26). After that, the tour goes European, covering a packed schedule across some of the continent’s biggest cities: Amsterdam, Antwerp, Zurich, Cologne, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Milan, Paris, Berlin, Munich, and Hamburg. Some cities—Paris, Berlin, Munich, and Hamburg—are in for double nights, hinting at huge fan demand and the duo’s ability to draw full houses even outside the UK.
This tour comes loaded with excitement beyond just the locations. Drake and PARTYNEXTDOOR have cooked up a new collaborative album—titled $ome $exy $ongs 4 U—cheap pun intended, but fans are buzzing about what this pairing means. The album, set to drop on Valentine’s Day 2025, will likely form the backbone of the tour’s setlist. Expect to hear hot-off-the-press singles like Nokia, Die Trying, and Gimme A Hug, along with all the staples from both artists’ famous catalogs.
If you’re trying to plan ahead, circle September 23—Hamburg’s Barclays Arena is where things wrap up after nearly three months on the road. The energy is already swirling around tickets, especially since Drake left Australian and New Zealand fans empty-handed when he canceled dates there due to scheduling conflicts earlier in the year. Chances are, European fans won’t want to risk missing out this time.
Key Details: Tickets, Dates, and What to Expect
If you want a shot at tickets, set multiple alarms. The presale launches on June 4, with the general sale firing up on June 6 via LiveNation. Let’s be real—these seats are going to move fast. Drake sells out arenas on every continent, and the added hype of a fresh joint album plus PARTYNEXTDOOR’s return to big stages means fans are about to scramble for spots.
The tour’s format—double nights, multiple festival sets, and major city stops—shows how Drake is doubling down for his European audience. After six years away, he’s rolling out the red carpet: more songs, more surprises, and a solid partner to trade hits and harmonies with. If the rumors are true, expect plenty of crowd-pleasing moments, surprise guests, and maybe even some tracks you’ve never heard live before.
So, whether you’re hyped for Wireless, waiting on that Paris reset, or just counting down the days until new music hits, this isn’t just another Drake tour. It’s the loudest homecoming UK and EU hip hop fans have seen in years—and the setlists are bound to be wild.
