Drake will perform his first Australian and New Zealand shows in eight years as part of his Anita Max Win Tour in early 2025. The tour's Oceania leg notably begins on February 9th, 2025 - the same day as Super Bowl LIX where Drake's rival Kendrick Lamar is set to perform the halftime show.

The timing of Drake's Australian tour opener coincides with Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl performance in New Orleans, occurring nearly 9,300 miles apart. This scheduling appears intentional amid their ongoing feud and Drake's current legal dispute with Universal Music.

This marks Drake's first performance in the region since 2017, offering fans across Australia and New Zealand multiple opportunities to see the five-time Grammy winner perform live.
