If you thought Drake was done dominating stages in 2025, think again. Fresh off his sold-out Anita Max Win Tour in Australia, the Canadian heavyweight is reuniting with long-time collaborator PARTYNEXTDOOR for what’s shaping up to be one of the most anticipated tours of the summer: $ome $pecial $hows 4 UK EU Tour. It’s not just a victory lap—it’s a full-blown reassertion of power after their chart-topping joint album $ome $exy $ongs 4 U.

Let’s be honest: nobody makes a coiled, intimate banger sound like these two. Their collaborative chemistry, which once hovered in the margins of OVO Sound projects, has finally taken center stage. On Valentine’s Day, the duo dropped an album that felt less like a passion project and more like a seduction manual delivered in hi-def. And it landed like a velvet sledgehammer—debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, and claiming the top spot across R&B and Hip-Hop charts alike. It was Drake’s 14th No. 1, but perhaps more significantly, it marked PARTYNEXTDOOR’s first. For fans of both, it was a long time coming.

Now, they’re taking the magic across Europe, starting in Birmingham on July 20 and wrapping up in Hamburg on September 23. In between: double nights in cultural capitals like Paris, Amsterdam, Berlin, Milan, and Stockholm. The schedule reads like a luxury itinerary, but with this duo, the mood is less about sightseeing and more about late-night escapism, preferably behind velvet ropes.

This tour is bigger than a celebration of a hit record. It’s the evolution of two artists who’ve rewritten the rules of R&B intimacy. Drake, ever the shapeshifter, floats between rap, pop, and soul with effortless charisma. PARTYNEXTDOOR, often reserved, now steps fully into his spotlight, no longer the mysterious architect behind Drake’s slow burns, but an equal partner in the flames. The shows promise to be more than just performances—they’re set to be cinematic nights of moody lighting, booming 808s, and the kind of sing-alongs that feel like shared secrets.

There’s also a subtext of legacy at play. For Drake, this marks his return to European stages for the first time since 2019’s Assassination Vacation Tour, and for fans who missed the massive North American It’s All A Blur run, this feels like a second chance. For PARTYNEXTDOOR, it’s a global rollout for an artist who’s spent much of his career behind the curtain, finally front and center.

With presales kicking off June 4 and general tickets on sale by June 6, expect a frenzy. The Mastercard exclusivity in certain markets adds a sheen of exclusivity, fitting for a tour that’s as much about sensuality as it is about status.

What’s exciting isn’t just the music—it’s the moment. $ome $pecial $hows arrives not just as another date on the tour calendar, but as a statement: R&B can sell out arenas. Moody, slow-burning, emotionally rich music doesn’t just live in headphones—it roars under stadium lights too. And with Drake and PND at the helm, it does so with swagger and soul.
