Drake Announces Spring Tour with J. Cole, Waka Flocka Flame, & 2 Chainz
If you didn’t get a chance to experience paradise, Drake is giving you another shot. The Canadian superstar will launch the second U.S. leg of his “Club Paradise” tour this May with a hip-hop-heavy guest list.
Following his sold-out U.S. college and European arena tours earlier this year, Drizzy will hit the road with supporting acts J. Cole, Waka Flocka Flame, Meek Mill, 2 Chainz, and French Montana.
The 27-date amphitheatre run kicks off May 7 in Concord, Calif., traveling to Las Vegas, Dallas, Atlanta, Chicago, and New York, before wrapping on June 17 at Boston’s Comcast Center.
“I feel like this tour is coming at the perfect time,” said Drake. “It’s taking place in the season that we all wait for. We’re outdoors and you’ve got every single artist you wait to hear in the club on one bill…that’s Club Paradise.”
Tickets go on sale beginning March 23. Citi cardmembers will have access to pre-sale tickets in advance. See a full itinerary below.

Why would they add WFF and 2Chainz to this concert? It diminishes Drake’s and J.Cole’s brand. Just my personal opinion.

Why Drake gonna punish us by making us sit through Waka and 2 Chainz weak ass. They should of kept A$AP Rocky & Kendrick Lamar then just add J. Cole. At least Meek Mill or Big Sean anybody but those lames.

My bad I didn’t see Meek Mill. French Montana alright but he like a New York version Waka Flocka. I thought Waka Flocka said he was gonna retire at end of 2011. Look that up if you think I’m playin.

@drakkardnoirI don’t comment as much as I shuold. I’ve been kind of busy lately 1st quarter. I just have to say I love the new music. I can see all your hard work is paying off. I hope you keep going. :) Waka kind of sounds the same monotone, same beat, same everything so it’s getting old. I think people are getting tired of Waka. Wish Waka would change more up, but he added you with the remix so that made the song rock!!! :)You remind me so much of my late father, not the way you look, but your personality. My dad could NEVER hold a surprise back. I was a spoiled brat… I used to have more surprises, but not so much anymore though. It was nice to hear your music. I’m glad you shared everything, some of your new songs, early. Now I’m definitely going to have to buy Take Care. ;)I keep seeing on your twitter too these guys give you such a bad time about oh your songs are just womanizing and disrespectful to women, but not if women want to be disrespected. I mean, call me a wild girl, but I find bad boys attractive. It’s okay to misbehave. Keep doing your thing!!! :PI love this too. Are you making this a new song? I think you shuold. :) I’m going to torture EVERYONE by re-posting it.Hmm, aww yea,Sex before marriage,dirty talk you to sleep, baby,No horse and carriage,but trust I give you what you need,Breathing hard, wait-catch your breath,Lip service, have you begging for whats comming next, uh,First your neck, finger tips over your chest,Rub in and out your legs, hold on tight’n up that grip,Pistol whip you slow motion, bulletime, matrix,I’m liking it, your loving it,Fuck the night, make a weekend out of it,Yeah,Put you to bed, then over again,Clock hits twelve and that’s where our story endsbtw… on twitter RIP DJ MEHDI? Really? That’s sad.
