Drake Australia Tour 2027

Drake has not announced any concerts in Australia or New Zealand for 2027. As of 9 October 2026 there is no tour, arena run or festival booking for either country, and no dates have been published anywhere for a new Drake world tour linked to his 2026 albums.

His most recent visit was the Australian leg of the Anita Max Win Tour in February 2025: twelve arena shows in Perth, Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane, with DJ Spade in support. The tour was meant to continue with extra nights in Brisbane and Sydney and two shows at Spark Arena in Auckland, but those dates were postponed on 25 February 2025 and finally cancelled on 29 July 2025, citing scheduling conflicts.

This page sets out what is and is not known about Drake's plans for 2027 and gives a full account of his concerts in Australia and New Zealand: the 2015 visit that combined arena shows with the Future Music Festival, the Boy Meets World Tour of 2017 and the Anita Max Win Tour of 2025.

Drake Australia Tour 2027: what is announced so far

There is no official information about Drake concerts in Australia or New Zealand in 2027. No promoter has listed dates, no venue has published a hold, and no presale has been opened. Anything presented as a confirmed 2027 itinerary for Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide or Auckland is speculation.

The context is a busy recording period. In May 2026 Drake released three albums on the same day, Iceman, Habibti and Maid of Honour, which debuted at numbers one, two and three on the Billboard 200, making him the first artist to hold the top three positions at the same time. In September 2026 he followed them with Fear of Missing Out, a long-form film premiered on YouTube. None of these releases has yet been accompanied by an announced tour of Australia or New Zealand.

The unfinished business of 2025 is worth noting. Two Australian dates, Brisbane Entertainment Centre on 4 March and Qudos Bank Arena on 7 March 2025, and the two Auckland nights at Spark Arena, first set for 28 February and 1 March and then moved to 15 and 16 March 2025, were never played. New Zealand fans have therefore not seen a Drake concert since November 2017.

Until there is an official announcement, treat any 'presale code', ticket listing or leaked list of 2027 dates with suspicion. If Drake does confirm a return, this page will be updated with the cities, venues and sale dates, and the alert below will tell you first.

Before the Drake Australia Tour 2027: Australia/NZ concert history

Drake's first headline tour of the region came in February and March 2015 under the banner of the Would You Like a Tour? run, a year and a half after Nothing Was the Same had gone to No. 1 in Australia. The setlist archive opens with Vector Arena in Auckland on Monday 23 February 2015, followed by Allphones Arena in Sydney on 25 February and Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne on Friday 27 February.

The same trip mixed those arena dates with outdoor festival shows at racecourses and showgrounds: Royal Randwick Racecourse in Sydney on 28 February, Doomben Racecourse in Brisbane on 7 March, Flemington Racecourse in Melbourne on 8 March and Adelaide Showground on 9 March. In between came Perth, logged at HBF Arena on 1 March and Perth Arena on 3 March, and the Brisbane Entertainment Centre on Thursday 5 March 2015. The arena sets ran to 30 songs or more, opening with 'Trophies' and moving through 'Headlines', 'Crew Love', 'Take Care', 'Marvins Room' and 'Hold On, We're Going Home' before 'Started From the Bottom' and 'Legend'.

He came back in November 2017 on the Boy Meets World Tour, the world tour behind the More Life playlist. It began in New Zealand with two nights at Spark Arena in Auckland on Friday 3 and Saturday 4 November 2017, then crossed to Sydney for Qudos Bank Arena on 7 and 8 November, Brisbane Entertainment Centre on 10 November, a third Sydney night on 15 November and three nights at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne from 18 to 20 November. Wikipedia notes that he said 'Free Meek Mill' at a concert in Australia that year, after Meek Mill's prison sentence, a gesture that helped end their old rivalry.

The Anita Max Win Tour, announced on 29 November 2024, was his biggest visit so far. Seven initial dates were doubled by mid-December because of demand, and Perth was added later. The run opened at RAC Arena in Perth on Tuesday 4 and Wednesday 5 February 2025, continued with four nights at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne (9, 10, 12 and 13 February) and four at Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney (16, 17, 19 and 20 February), and closed with two nights at Brisbane Entertainment Centre on Monday 24 and Tuesday 25 February 2025.

According to Wikipedia, the twelve Australian shows played to 200,396 people at full capacity and grossed about US$30.3 million. At the first two Melbourne dates Drake handed out about $45,000 to fans in the crowd, which led to signs asking for money at later shows. The setlist archive also records short, unannounced club appearances in Melbourne in late January and in Sydney on 14 February 2025; they were not ticketed concerts and are left out of the table on this page.

Across the three visits Drake has played 31 concerts and festival shows in the region according to the combined records, with Sydney and Melbourne (nine dates each) the most frequent stops. Adelaide has only seen him once, at the 2015 festival, and Auckland three times, all at the same arena under two different names.

The table below lists 31 documented Australia/NZ concerts by Drake between 2015 and 2025, with the most shows in Sydney (9), Melbourne (9), Brisbane (5), Perth (4), Auckland (3), Adelaide (1). It is not exhaustive: it only includes documented shows.

Drake Australia Tour 2027 and Australia/NZ festivals

Drake headlined the 2015 Future Music Festival, the last edition of the touring dance and pop festival, whose line-up that year also included Avicii, Knife Party, The Prodigy, Afrojack and Martin Garrix. The setlist archive places his festival sets at Royal Randwick Racecourse in Sydney (28 February), Doomben Racecourse in Brisbane (7 March), Flemington Racecourse in Melbourne (8 March) and Adelaide Showground (9 March 2015).

A few weeks after the 2015 edition, Mushroom Group announced it would not continue the festival because of low ticket sales. Since then all of Drake's concerts in Australia and New Zealand have been his own arena headline shows.

Drake Australia Tour 2027: career and records

Aubrey Drake Graham was born on 24 October 1986 in Toronto. He first became known as Jimmy Brooks in the teen drama Degrassi: The Next Generation, then released the mixtapes Room for Improvement (2006), Comeback Season (2007) and So Far Gone (2009) before signing with Young Money Entertainment. He is credited with popularising R&B sensibilities in hip-hop through rap-singing.

His debut album Thank Me Later (2010) entered the Billboard 200 at No. 1. Take Care (2011) was later included in Rolling Stone's list of the 500 greatest albums, and Nothing Was the Same (2013) debuted at No. 1 in Canada, Denmark, Australia and the United Kingdom. Views (2016) topped the Billboard 200 for 13 weeks, and its single 'One Dance' became the first song to pass one billion streams on Spotify.

Scorpion (2018) produced 'God's Plan', 'Nice for What' and 'In My Feelings', which together spent 29 weeks at the top of the Billboard Hot 100. Certified Lover Boy (2021), Honestly, Nevermind (2022), Her Loss with 21 Savage (2022) and For All the Dogs (2023) followed, then Some Sexy Songs 4 U with PartyNextDoor in February 2025, released while he was touring Australia. In 2025 he headlined all three days of Wireless Festival in London before a run of European shows that ended on 23 September 2025.

With more than 170 million units sold, Drake is among the best-selling artists in the world. He holds the record among male solo artists for Billboard 200 number-one albums and Hot 100 number-one singles, and Billboard named him Artist of the Decade for the 2010s and the highest-grossing hip-hop touring artist. In May 2026 Iceman, Habibti and Maid of Honour took the top three places on the Billboard 200 together.

Drake Australia Tour 2027: the four-night city runs

Drake's Australian visits have grown each time. In 2015 he played one arena night in each of Sydney and Melbourne alongside the festival dates; in 2017 he played three nights in Sydney and three in Melbourne; in 2025 he booked four nights each at Rod Laver Arena and Qudos Bank Arena, plus two in Perth and two in Brisbane.

The pattern of back-to-back pairs, such as 9 and 10 February then 12 and 13 February 2025 in Melbourne, leaves a rest day between blocks. It is a common way to schedule a large arena production. Whether any future visit would follow the same model, or move to stadiums, has not been announced.

Drake Australia Tour 2027: Auckland and New Zealand

New Zealand has seen Drake twice: at Vector Arena in Auckland on 23 February 2015 and at the same building, by then called Spark Arena, on 3 and 4 November 2017. The 2017 tour actually began there, before moving on to Australia.

The 2025 visit was meant to include Auckland again. Two Spark Arena shows were first scheduled for 28 February and 1 March 2025, moved on 29 January to 15 and 16 March, postponed again on 25 February and cancelled on 29 July 2025. For New Zealand fans, a return would end a gap that has lasted since 2017.

Drake Australia Tour 2027: Perth and the west

Perth has had Drake on two of his three tours. In 2015 the archive logs a show at HBF Arena on 1 March and one at Perth Arena on 3 March. Perth was not part of the 2017 itinerary.

In 2025 Perth was added to the Anita Max Win Tour after the first announcement and became its opening city, with two nights at RAC Arena, as Perth Arena is now known, on 4 and 5 February 2025.

Drake Australia Tour 2027: the Brisbane dates that never happened

Brisbane Entertainment Centre has hosted Drake on every tour: 5 March 2015, 10 November 2017 and 24 and 25 February 2025. A third 2025 night, on 4 March, was among the shows postponed after the second Brisbane concert.

That Brisbane show, a further Sydney night at Qudos Bank Arena on 7 March and the two Auckland dates were officially cancelled on 29 July 2025.

Drake Australia Tour 2027: what to expect live

The Anita Max Win shows in Australia were long, usually between 40 and 50 songs, many of them short excerpts. The 2025 sets opened with 'Passionfruit' and 'Marvins Room', ran through 'Started From the Bottom', 'Know Yourself', 'SICKO MODE', 'God's Plan', 'One Dance' and 'Hotline Bling', and closed with a late run such as 'Jimmy Cooks', 'Knife Talk', 'IDGAF', 'Rich Flex' and 'Yebba's Heartbreak'. The Sydney nights included a block of PartyNextDoor collaborations such as 'Break From Toronto', 'Make It To The Morning' and 'Come and See Me', and songs from the new joint album 'Some Sexy Songs 4 U'.

The 2017 Boy Meets World shows opened with 'Free Smoke' and 'Trophies' and included a medley of earlier hits, from 'Worst Behavior' and 'Over' to 'I'm on One' and 'Miss Me', before 'Passionfruit', 'One Dance', 'Fake Love' and a closing 'Legend'. In 2015 the arena sets started with 'Trophies' and ended with 'Started From the Bottom' or 'Legend'.

Across all his Australian and New Zealand concerts, the songs played most often include 'Started From the Bottom', 'Headlines', 'HYFR', 'Hold On, We're Going Home', 'The Motto' and 'Energy', as the table below shows.

Drake Australia Tour 2027 tickets and presales

There are no Drake tickets on sale for Australia or New Zealand in 2027, because no concerts have been announced. Any site already selling seats or offering a presale code for a 2027 Drake show is not official.

For the 2025 tour, tickets were sold through the official primary outlets of each venue after presales, and demand was strong enough for the first seven dates to be doubled within weeks. If new dates are announced, expect a similar pattern: registrations, presales, then a general sale. Buy only from the official seller named by the venue or the artist's fan channels, keep name-locked mobile tickets in the official app, and use only the authorised resale facility if you cannot go.
