Drake has pulled all of the remaining dates of his current tour of Australia and New Zealand. A rep for the rapper told Rolling Stone AU/NZ that a "scheduling conflict" was the reason for the decision to cancel shows in Sydney and Brisbane as well as a pair of already-postponed dates in Auckland, New Zealand scheduled for mid-March. The rep added that Drake is “actively working on rescheduling these dates along with adding some additional shows.”
“All tickets for the affected shows will remain valid for the new dates,” the statement continued. “Refunds will be available for those who prefer, but please note that as these shows are sold out, any refunded tickets will be released for sale.
“We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience. Drake and the entire team have had an incredible time doing these shows and are excited to return soon. We look forward to sharing the rescheduled dates with you as soon as possible.”
Drake started the Anita Max Win tour in early February, meaning Drake was in Australia for both the Grammys and Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl half-time show. The tour has garnered a lot of attention for a section in which Drake gives away large sums of cash to fans in the audience; two fans in Perth were gifted $20,000 while a pregnant attendee in Sydney was handed $30,000 and moved into the VIP section of the venue.
