Drake Confirms 2027 Tour After 'Fear of Missing Out' Film

Drake has officially confirmed plans for a global tour in 2027, coinciding with the surprise livestream release of his new hourlong visual project, "Fear of Missing Out." The Canadian artist revealed his touring intentions to EtalkCanada shortly before the project's debut on YouTube. Described by Drake as "self-funded surrealism," the film was directed by a team including Theo Skudra, Liam Macrae, Jake Schreier, Zong Li, and Glenn Michael. The visual project weaves together vignettes of Toronto summers, featuring locations such as Casa Loma and the CNE, alongside an appearance of an Iron Man suit and a cameo by Loe Shimmy. These scenes are interspersed with music videos from Drake's recent albums, "Maid of Honour," "Habibti," and "ICEMAN." The film also includes guest appearances from notable figures and artists such as Sexyy Red, Winnie Harlow, Lena the Plug, and Drake's mother, Sandi Graham. "Fear of Missing Out" showcases existing catalog visuals for tracks like "WNBA," "Road Trips," and "Hoe Phase." Additionally, the project premieres new music, including a slowed-down remix of Ella Langley’s "Choosin’ Texas" featuring Don Toliver. Further unreleased collaborations with Don Toliver and Yeat are also featured within the stream, underscoring Drake's commitment to promoting long-form music video culture. Following its initial debut, the YouTube stream for "Fear of Missing Out" was made private. The visual project is positioned as a prelude to Drake's anticipated 2027 concert tour, signaling a significant undertaking for the artist in the coming years. The confirmation of the tour follows a period of creative output that includes the visual project, suggesting a strategic rollout of new content and live performances. The "Fear of Missing Out" film itself represents a substantial investment in visual storytelling, blending personal narratives with artistic expression and commercial appeal. The inclusion of multiple directors and collaborators highlights a multifaceted approach to its production. The project's self-funded nature further emphasizes Drake's independent control over his artistic direction and business ventures. The specific inclusion of Toronto landmarks and summer scenes grounds the surrealist elements in a recognizable cultural context for the artist. The integration of both existing and new musical content within the visual narrative aims to provide a comprehensive experience for his fanbase, bridging his recent work with upcoming projects. The 2027 tour dates are expected to be announced in the future, building anticipation for what is likely to be a major global event.
