Drake announces two Amsterdam dates in July; Ticket sales set to start

Canadian rap musician Drake will be performing two shows in Amsterdam next month. PARTYNEXTDOOR will be the warm-up act for the musician, concert organizer MOJO reported. The shows will be at Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam on July 30 and July 31.

The $ome $pecial $hows 4 EU tour will start in England in Birmingham and Manchester before he visits Amsterdam. Ticket prices for the show in Amsterdam range from 89 euros to 201 euros. Ticket sales are set to start on Friday.

Drake will continue on the tour in Europe to Antwerp, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Paris, and Berlin. In addition, he will also close the Wireless Festival in London in July for three nights. The tickets for the event were sold out within minutes, the fastest time that tickets had sold out in the 20 year history of the event.

The last time that the rap musician performed in Europe was in 2019. One of his shows in the Ziggo Dome was canceled due to changes to the schedule during that tour. This was not the first time that he had canceled a show in the Netherlands after he had also canceled a performance in Amsterdam in 2017 due to illness.

It will be the first time that Drake is touring Europe since his rap beef with Kendrick Lamar. The Canadian rapper and Lamar released several songs in which they took shots at each other, with Lamar then performing his most popular song insulting Drake, “Not Like Us,” during the halftime performance of the Super Bowl.

Drake is a Grammy Award-winning, multi-platinum-selling artist. His breakthrough came in 2009 with EP So Far Gone, which sold over 650,000 records. His album Certified Lover Boy broke Apple Music’s streaming record in 12 hours.
