After eight long years, Drake is finally making his way back to Australia, and he’s bringing the excitement with him. The rapper, who’s gearing up for the Anita Max Win Tour, shared his love for the Land Down Under during a festive Drizzmas Giveawaystream with Kick streamer Adin Ross. Between giving away jaw-dropping prizes, Drake couldn’t help but gush about Australia’s charm and his anticipation for the upcoming tour.
“It’s Australia—it’s a beautiful place,” he said, reminiscing about his first glass of white wine at Bondi Beach. “The people are incredible, the views are stunning. It reminded me how big the world is. I hope everybody gets a chance to see it.”
Adding a little Aussie flair, Drake even debuted a playful accent, saying, “I can’t wait to see all my Australias. I’m keen, mate, easy as. I can’t wait to touch down, mate.”
The Anita Max Win Tour kicks off at Perth’s RAC Arena on February 4, 2025, and travels through Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane before wrapping up in Auckland on March 1. Initially announced with seven shows, the tour quickly expanded to 13 dates due to overwhelming demand. Fans are eager to see what Drake has in store after his last Australian visit in 2017.
The tour’s name comes from a viral December 2023 livestream where Drake introduced his playful alter ego, Anita Max Win, inspired by gambling slang. Since then, the name has become a fun part of Drake’s brand, much like the energy he’s bringing to this tour.
In the years since his last visit, Drake has released blockbuster albums like Scorpion (2018), Certified Lover Boy (2021), Her Loss (2022), and For All The Dogs (2023). But the tour isn’t just about his music—Drake made his Drizzmas Giveawaystream unforgettable, handing out gifts like a G Wagon, three family cars, $250,000 to a fan in debt, and a year’s rent for two others.
Fans also got a sneak peek into what’s next for Drake, including new music with Young Thug, a collaboration on Smiley’s January album, and the long-awaited PARTYNEXTDOOR project, now slated for early 2025.
Drake is promising a “very, very special show” for his Australian fans, and judging by his enthusiasm, the Anita Max Win Tour is set to be nothing short of spectacular. Get ready, Australia—Drizzy’s coming back, and he’s bringing the vibes with him!
