The Canadian rapper has confirmed a marathon of European shows, following on from his Summer Sixteen US tour. The Boy Meets World Tour will start in the Netherlands January 2017 and will continue on until March.
Drake will be performing an overall of 14 shows in the UK, including a grand total of six nights at London’s O2 Arena. This is the best bit of news we’ve heard all October.

The platinum-record artist will be headlining the UK for the first time since 2014, after he joined Rihanna as her surprise guest appearance on her tour earlier this year.
Drake has recently become the first musician to break one billion streams on Apple Music with his latest album Views. The album includes hot hits One Dance and Controlla, which have become club classics- literally, is it really pre-drinks if 12 of his songs haven’t played?
The Grammy Award winning artist holds the record for most number one hits on Billboard’s R&B/Hip-Hop Chart and has sold out arenas around the world.
Simply put, Drake is a cultural phenomenon- an innovator of current rap and R&B. We here at The Indiependent are Hyped. Are you?
Tickets go on sale this Friday. You can buy them here.
