The opening night of Drake’s “Anita Max Win” tour in Perth took fans by surprise. Despite rumors of unsold tickets, his performance was nothing short of electric.
Drake seemed unfazed by the Grammy buzz around Kendrick Lamar, focusing instead on delivering an unforgettable experience for his audience.
Social media was ablaze with videos and photos, showcasing a sold-out show, contradicting earlier reports of available tickets by Perth Now.
During the performance, Drake took a moment to affirm his presence and gratitude, saying, “My name is Drake. I started in 2008, I came all the way from Toronto, Canada. The year is now 2025, and no matter what, Drizzy Drake is very much still alive and that’s all thanks to you.”
His connection with the crowd was evident as he expressed his gratitude for his Australian fans, promising not to delay future visits as he had done in the past.
Drake’s presence in Australia comes after an eight-year hiatus, a fact he acknowledged with a promise to return sooner next time.
He also hinted at future musical ventures, highlighting an upcoming collaborative album with PARTYNEXTDOOR titled “$OME $EXY $ONGS 4 U,” set to release on Valentine’s Day.
Drake’s closing words carried an undertone of caution, urging fans to take care of one another amid “too many weird things goin’ on out here.”
This tour marks a fresh start for Drake, moving past the drama of 2024 with hopes for a successful 2025. His new music and enthusiastic performances suggest a promising year ahead.
Drake’s tour debut in Australia is a testament to his enduring appeal and resilience. With new music on the horizon and a loyal fan base, he’s ready to turn the page for an exciting new chapter.
