The Summer Sixteen Tour was a co-headlining concert tour by Canadian rapper Drake and American rapper Future.[2] It began on July 20, 2016 in Austin, Texas, and concluded with its final show in Toronto, Ontario, on October 8, 2016. With 60 performances across North America, the tour was produced by Apple Music to promote Drake's fourth studio album, Views (2016), Future's fourth studio album Evol (2016), as well as their collaborative mixtape, What a Time to Be Alive (2015). Guest appearances and support acts on the tour's various stops included 2 Chainz, ASAP Ferg, Bun B, Cam'Ron, DJ Khaled, Fat Joe, French Montana, Gucci Mane, Ice Cube, Kanye West, Kash Doll, Rihanna, T.I., Too Short, Ty Dolla $ign, Usher, and Young Thug, among others.[3] The tour earned a gross total of $84.3 million off of 54 shows, making it the highest-grossing hip-hop tour of all time,[4] until Drake broke this record with his own co-headlining Aubrey & the Three Migos Tour in 2018.[5]
