Drake Postpones It’s All a Blur Tour – Big As the What? With J. Cole: Here Are the New Dates
Written by Carl Lamarre on January 16, 2024
Drake and J. Cole’s hotly anticipated It’s All a Blur Tour — Big As the What? won’t start this week. Originally slated to kick off Jan. 18 and Jan. 19 in Denver, Drake and Cole’s first show will take place Feb. 2 in Tampa Bay, Fla., according to Ticketmaster. The opening Denver dates have been pushed back to April 15 and April 16.
Announced in November, It’s All A Blur Tour — Big as the What? included 22 dates and came on the heels of Drake and Cole’s Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 collaboration “First Person Shooter.” Fans got a taste of the tour when Cole and Drake headlined the Carolina rapper’s Dreamville Festival last year. The set included a barrage of hits and special guests, including Lil Wayne, GloRilla and Lil Uzi Vert.
Last year, Drake notched his 13th Billboard 200 No. 1 album with For All the Dogs. Despite receiving mixed reviews, the OVO commander earned 402,000 equivalent albums, courtesy of his Hot 100 chart-topper “Slime You Out” featuring SZA. The album had a bevy of guests ranging from Yeat to Lil Yachty and Sexyy Red.
Shortly after the release of FATD, Drake upped the ante with his For All the Dogs Scary Hours Edition. The six-song entry found a more punchy Drake, who also reeled in J. Cole for another feature on “Evil Ways.” The mini set also featured “You Broke My Heart,” which recently received the visual treatment and featured a cameo from Morgan Wallen. Subsequently, he added 10 more dates to the It’s All a Blur Tour — Big As the What? following the release of the deluxe effort.
