The Anita Max Win Tour is the upcoming seventh concert tour by Canadian rapper Drake. The tour is set to commence on February 4, 2025 in Perth and conclude on March 16, in Auckland. It will be Drake's first tour of Oceania in eight years,[1] since the Boy Meets World Tour (2017).[2]
The tour was announced on November 29, 2024, with seven dates across Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, and Auckland.[3] Due to overwhelming demand, this was doubled by December 18, with additional shows added in Australia, including the introduction of a two-date stopover in Perth.[4] The tour was extended on January 14, 2025 to include further shows in Sydney and Brisbane.[5] On January 29, the Auckland dates were rescheduled from February 28 and March 1, 2025, to March 15 and March 16, respectively, due to scheduling conflicts.[6] The remaining dates remain unaffected.[7]
The tour is named after the "Anita Max Wynn" character first introduced by Drake on a December 2023 Kick live stream: the character's name is a pun on the gambling phrase "I need a max win", which refers to hitting the maximum payout on a slot machine.[8]
