Drake Postpones Remaining Tour Dates Over ‘Scheduling Conflict’

Drake has postponed his remaining Australia and New Zealand tour dates due to “a scheduling conflict.”

“We are actively working on rescheduling these dates along with adding some additional shows,” Drake’s rep said in a statement to Rolling Stone AU/NZ. “All tickets for the affected shows will remain valid for the new dates. Refunds will be available for those who prefer, but please note that as these shows are sold out, any refunded tickets will be released for sale.”

The statement continued, “We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience. Drake and the entire team have had an incredible time doing these shows and are excited to return soon. We look forward to sharing the rescheduled dates with you as soon as possible.”

Drake’s Anita Max Win Tour kicked off earlier this month in Perth, Australia, and was slated to have 16 shows across the country and in New Zealand. The concert was scheduled to have shows on Tuesday, March 4, in Brisbane and on Friday, March 7, in Sydney as well as on Saturday, March 15, and Sunday, March 16, at Auckland’s Spark Arena.

The tour collided with the release of Drake’s latest album, Some Sexy Songs 4 U, a collaboration with PartyNextDoor. The album, which was released on February 14, debuted at No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart.

Drake, 38, has continued to make headlines for his ongoing feud with Kendrick Lamar, which came to a head during the 2025 Super Bowl halftime show. In the performance, Lamar, 37, performed his diss track “Not Like Us” — which allegedly accused Drake of pedophilia in lines like, “Say, Drake, I hear you like ’em young” and “Tryna strike a chord and it’s probably A minor.” Drake denied the pedophilia accusations in “The Heart Part 6.”

Before the Super Bowl, reports suggested that Drake sent Lamar a cease-and-desist to stop him from performing “Not Like Us” on football’s biggest night. A rep for Drake, however, denied it, telling Us Weekly in October 2024, “The rumors are completely false.”

One month later, Drake filed a legal complaint claiming that Lamar (and his own) record label, Universal Music Group, conspired with Spotify to artificially inflate the popularity of “Not Like Us.” UMG and Spotify denied the accusations.

While Drake withdrew the complaint, he filed a federal lawsuit against UMG in January and accused the label of defamation and harassment. UMG continued to deny the allegations.

After the halftime show, Drake has seemingly moved on from his beef with Lamar. In the song “Brian Steel,” Drake joked that he’s “vegan now” after an earlier line asked for “all the beef on the side.”
