This tour announcement comes on the heels of Drake's recent success with his album "For All the Dogs," which achieved the impressive feat of becoming his 13th No. 1 album. Following the album's release, Drake had initially mentioned taking a break from music to focus on his health, but it seems he can't resist the allure of the stage for too long.

Fans in Lafayette, Louisiana, and along the Gulf Coast can mark their calendars for late January 2024 as Drake and J. Cole bring their star power to New Orleans, making it a must-see event during the city's beloved Mardi Gras season. The "It's All a Blur Tour - Big As The What?" promises to be a show that will have fans talking long after the final song drops.
