Background

Drake and Future first collaborated in 2012 on the song "Tony Montana". In 2015, the two released a single called "Where Ya At", which later was included as part of Future's third studio album, DS2 . [6] Since then, other notable collaborations with the two include Drake's song "Grammys" (feat. Future) and "Jumpman" (2015). The duo also worked on a collaborative mixtape entitled What a Time to Be Alive, which was released on September 20, 2015. [7] Throughout 2013 and 2014, during Drake's Would You Like a Tour? , Future made multiple guest appearances, often appearing to perform alongside him and/or serve as the opening act of the show. [8] Rumours of a co-headlining tour from Drake and Future first circulated following the release of What a Time to Be Alive, leading Drake to post on Twitter that he was planning to embark on a tour with Future in the summer.

On April 25, 2016, the Summer Sixteen tour was announced by Drake, with Future as co-headliner. [9] Later, on that same day, several dates were announced via Drake's website, with dvsn and Roy Woods all set to perform as opening artists. [10]
