It is the first time Drake has toured the UK and Europe in six years with the announcement coming shortly after the 6 God cut short his run of concerts in New Zealand and Australia.
Drake previously revealed that he will be headlining every night of the UK’s Wireless Festival this July.
Set to take place between July 11 and 13 in London’s Finsbury Park, the 20th anniversary edition of the festival will see Drizzy put on three very different shows across the weekend.
The first performance has been confirmed to feature PARTYNEXTDOOR, so expect the setlist to heavily feature songs from their recent collaborative album $ome $exy $ongs 4 U.

Fellow R&B singer Summer Walker is also expected to join the 6 God on stage during the opening night.
The Saturday night performance is billed as “Drake & The Mandem” and is widely expected to feature appearances from a number of British rappers the 6 God has collaborated with over the years, including Skepta, Giggs, Central Cee, Dave and Headie One.
The closing show looks like it is going to have more of an Afrobeats and Dancehall flavor as it is confirmed that Drake will be joined by Burna Boy and Vybz Kartel.

Even though the festival is just a month away, no other artists have yet been announced for the three day event which is already completely sold out.
Kendrick Lamar will also be in the UK at the same time as Drake as he plays a number of stadiums on his Grand National Tour.
