Drake Announces UK Tour Dates for 2025 – Tickets for Manchester & Birmingham Shows Drop June 6

It’s official: Drake is coming back to the UK for the first time in six years, and fans are already buzzing about his highly anticipated $OME $PECIAL $HOWS 4 European tour. The Canadian rap superstar will hit major cities across Europe and the UK this summer, including two massive nights at Manchester’s Co-Op Live Arena. The general sale for tickets begins on Friday, June 6, at 12:00 p.m. (BST) via Live Nation and Ticketmaster—mark your calendars, as demand is expected to skyrocket.

Drake Returns to Manchester & Birmingham in July

The tour kicks off in Birmingham on July 20 and 21, before heading north to Manchester for back-to-back performances on July 25 and 26 at the newly opened Co-Op Live Arena, the UK’s largest indoor venue. This marks a triumphant return for Drake, whose last UK performance was during the 2019 Assassination Vacation Tour.

Adding to the hype, R&B-soul artist PARTYNEXTDOOR will join Drake as the opening act for all UK dates, setting the stage for what promises to be one of the year’s biggest music events.

Tour Expands Across Europe After UK Leg

After his Manchester shows, Drake will continue his tour through Amsterdam, Antwerp, Zurich, Cologne, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Milan, Paris, Berlin, Munich, and Hamburg, with two-night stops in nearly every city. The European leg runs through late September 2025, wrapping up with back-to-back nights in Hamburg on September 22 and 23.

Drake’s It’s All A Blur Tour across North America in 2023–2024 featured sold-out shows and guest appearances from J. Cole and 21 Savage, proving the rapper is still a global powerhouse. Now, UK and European fans finally get their moment.

When and Where to Buy Tickets

If you missed the pre-sale opportunities earlier this week, Friday, June 6, at 12:00 p.m. is your chance. Tickets will be available on Live Nation and Ticketmaster.  Given the long gap since Drake’s last UK tour, tickets are expected to sell out quickly, so fans are advised to be ready when the clock hits noon.

Drake isn’t just performing—he’s staging a comeback for UK and EU fans who’ve waited patiently for his return. With Co-Op Live offering a state-of-the-art venue experience and the rapper set to headline all three nights of Wireless Festival in London (June 11–13), this summer marks a major moment in the artist’s global domination.

So, whether you’re in Manchester, Birmingham, or planning to catch him somewhere in Europe, this is your shot to witness the 6 God live in 2025.
