Drake concert chronology

The Anita Max Win Tour is the ongoing seventh concert tour by Canadian rapper Drake. It commenced on February 4, 2025 in Perth and is set to conclude on March 16, in Auckland. The tour is Drake's first of Oceania in eight years, [1] since the Boy Meets World Tour (2017). [2]

Contents

The tour was announced on November 29, 2024, with seven dates across Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, and Auckland. [3] Due to overwhelming demand, this was doubled by December 18, with additional shows added in Australia, including the introduction of a two-date stopover in Perth. [4] The tour was extended on January 14, 2025 to include further shows in Sydney and Brisbane. [5] On January 29, the Auckland dates were rescheduled from February 28 and March 1, 2025, to March 15 and March 16, respectively, due to scheduling conflicts. [6] The remaining dates were unaffected. [7]

The tour is named after the "Anita Max Wynn" character first introduced by Drake on a December 2023 Kick live stream: the character's name is a pun on the gambling phrase "I need a max win", which refers to hitting the maximum payout on a slot machine. [8]

Concert synopsis

An Anita Max Win Tour show consists of between 40 and 42 songs and lasts just over 2 hours, [9] with Drake addressing the crowd throughout the show. The songs are broadly played in order of release from each studio album (except for 2010's Thank Me Later ) of his discography. Select songs which contain guest appearances by Drake are also performed.

Prior to the start of the show, Drake enters the arena through the crowd by descending its steps flanked by security. He wears a hoodie which features bulletholes with smoke flowing from the back of the garment while the instrumental for "Over My Dead Body" plays. [10] According to David Friend of The Canadian Press , the attire and show introduction symbolizes that Drake is "still standing" following his publicized rap feud with Kendrick Lamar and other artists in 2024. [11]
