Drake Announces Tour Plans at SXSW

Tonight, Drake‘s OVO Sound label held a showcase at SXSW. It featured performances from dvsn, Majid Jordan, PARTYNEXTDOOR, and Roy Wood$, as well as a surprise appearance from Drake, himself, who closed out the set. Before playing “Summer Sixteen,” he announced plans for a tour following his next album’s release, Entertainment Weekly reports. He didn’t provide further details, but said he will be in Austin, Houston, and Dallas, at least. Update (3/20, 10:37 a.m.): Check out PARTYNEXTDOOR‘s new track “Come and See Me,” which features Drake, above.

In addition to the tour announcement, Drake said, “Views From the 6 coming in I don’t know how many weeks, so I hope y’all enjoy that shit,” according to The Fader. It seems to confirm his initial statement (back in January when he released “Summer Sixteen”) that Views would arrive this April.

Drake performed “Energy,” “Jumpman” (with Metro Boomin), “Big Rings,” “Know Yourself,” “Back to Back,” and “Summer Sixteen” during his SXSW set. Watch some clips below, via The Fader and Spin.

Drake also found some time to sign a copy of The Fader magazine with his “Work” partner Rihanna on the cover. (The showcase was at SXSW’s Fader Fort.) See that below, too.
