Welp, looks like Drake just swiped left on the rest of his Australia and New Zealand tour dates.
The 38-year-old “Hotline Bling” hitmaker (and part-time emotional philosopher) has suddenly yanked all remaining stops from his Down Under tour, leaving fans with nothing but their Spotify playlists and disappointment.
According to his rep (who we assume is now on speed dial for damage control), a “scheduling conflict” is the official excuse. Translation? Drake either double-booked himself, realized he left his oven on, or just wasn’t vibing with all the Vegemite. This abrupt tour vanishing act affects shows in Sydney and Brisbane, plus some already-delayed dates in Auckland, New Zealand, that were supposed to go down in mid-March.
But wait, there’s hope! Drake’s team swears he’s “actively working” on rescheduling these dates AND throwing in some extra shows as a peace offering. Because nothing says “my bad” like more concerts you can’t be sure will happen.
“All tickets will remain valid for the new dates,” the statement reassures. But if you’re feeling a little ghosted and would rather take the refund, you can totally do that. Just know that once those tickets hit the market again, they’ll be snatched up faster than a limited-edition OVO hoodie.
The apology tour (not to be confused with an actual tour) ended with the classic “We’re so sorry, we love you, please don’t be mad” sentiment, promising that Drake and his crew had an “incredible time” and can’t wait to return.
Oh, and in case you were wondering—yes, Drake missed Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl performance while he was off doing…well, not his tour. Coincidence? We’ll let the conspiracy theorists cook.
