They were number 1 together, now they are ready for the victory lap.
Drake announced new tour dates on Monday, and this time he’ll be joined by Grammy winner and “First Person Shooter” collaborator J. Cole.
Tour It’s All A Blur — Big As The What? kicks off on January 18th in Denver, before wrapping up in March in Birmingham, Alabama. Includes a total of 22 dates such as Oklahoma City, New Orleans, Nashville, St. Louis and beyond.
Presented by Cash App and Visa, the Canadian rapper’s latest iteration of the show follows his initial 2023 It’s All a Blur tour, which featured 50 sold-out arenas with his Her loss associate of 21 Savage. Cole previously toured arenas in 2021 on his The Off-Season Tour alongside 21 Savage.
“With a boy in a town near you,” Cole, 38, wrote on Instagram after the announcement, along with some awesome emojis.

Drake and Cole’s collaborative relationship goes back years — with popular collaborations including 2011’s “In the Morning” and 2013’s “Jodeci Freestyle” (which later appeared on Drake’s 2019 album Care package project).
Recently, Drake and Cole have appeared at different concerts as surprise guests. Cole surprised Drake’s It’s All a Blur crowd in Montreal in July, Drake did the same at Cole’s Dreamville festival in April, and the pair later reunited in Toronto when Cole appeared on stage to perform “First Person Shooter” with Drake in October, shortly after the release of his latest LP For all dogs.
“Toronto, please make some noise for the legendary, all the way from North Carolina, J. Cole,” Drake said at a performance in his hometown. “You better make some fucking noise tonight.”
Their latest collaboration topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart in October, tying Drake with Michael Jackson for the most No. 1s by a male solo artist. It’s Cole’s first Hot 100 number one ever.
Drake’s It’s All a Blur tour has made plenty of headlines throughout its run again this year — from the rapper performing with a version of his younger self, to offering to pay a fan’s medical bills, and even creating a bra collection while on the road. .
The next series of concerts isn’t even the first time Cole and Drake have hit the road together, as the North Carolina rapper previously opened for Drizzy during the second North American leg of his Club Paradise tour in 2012.
For fans looking to catch the reunion, Cash App Card pre-sales for the tour begin Wednesday, and general sales begin Friday.
