Drake has just revealed exciting news for his fans in Manchester by announcing two huge concerts scheduled for the upcoming summer. The Grammy award-winning artist recently collaborated with PARTYNEXTDOOR on an album called $ome $exy $ongs 4 U and as a celebration of this successful release, he will be embarking on the ‘$ome$pecial $hows 4 UK’ arena tour.
The tour will kick off on 20 and 21 July in Birmingham before heading to Manchester where Drake will perform at Co-op Live on the 25th and 26th of July. This will be followed by appearances in several European cities before wrapping up on 23 September in Hamburg.
Drake’s return to Europe marks his first visit in six years, following his 2019 Assassination Vacation Tour. Prior to this announcement, Drake had completed an 80-date sold-out tour in North America with special guests 21 Savage and J. Cole, breaking records and garnering immense popularity along the way.
In addition to his upcoming tour, Drake is set to headline all three nights at the Wireless Festival in London’s Finsbury Park. The festival sold out within minutes, establishing it as the fastest sell-out in its 20-year history. The tour promises unique setlists and special guests for each night, providing fans with an unforgettable experience.
Tickets for Drake’s Manchester concerts will go on sale soon, with pre-sales starting on 4 June and general sales opening on 6 June. This last-minute ticket release adds to the excitement surrounding his highly anticipated return to the UK and Europe.
On a separate note, American pop sensation Benson Boone has also announced a headline gig at Co-op Live in Manchester as part of his ‘American Heart Tour’. The 22-year-old artist, known for his acrobatic performances, is gaining popularity both in the US and internationally.
Benson Boone’s popularity has soared with the release of his first album, Fireworks & Rollerblades, earning him critical acclaim and Grammy nominations. Described as fitting into the American Idol and ‘Voice audition pop’ genre, Boone’s rise to fame has been meteoric, drawing comparisons to artists like Shawn Mendes and Teddy Swims.
Boone’s visit to Co-op Live will mark his first solo performance in Manchester, adding to the excitement surrounding his limited run of UK concerts. His shows in the US have consistently sold out within seconds, highlighting his immense popularity and growing fan base.
Both Drake and Benson Boone’s upcoming concerts promise an unforgettable live experience for fans in Manchester, solidifying their places as top-tier artists in the music industry.
