Grammy award-winning artist Drake is heading back to New Zealand to play two shows early next year.
The Canadian rapper announced the dates for his upcoming The Anita Max Win Tour – his first performances in the country since 2017.
The tour will kick off in Australia on February 9 in Melbourne, followed by shows in Sydney and Brisbane.
He will play two consecutive shows at Auckland’s Spark Arena on February 28 and March 1.
The tour takes its name from a viral moment from Drake’s December 2023 livestream on Kick, where he introduced the “alter ego” Anita Max Win — a play on the gambling expression “I need a max win”, the maximum prize paid out on the slots.
Tickets will go on pre-sale for Mastercard cardholders and One NZ customers on December 3 from 12pm, and for Westfield members from December 5 at 1pm. General sale will begin on December 6 from 12pm.
