Drake’s It’s All A Blur Tour has officially become the highest-grossing hip-hop tour in history. The achievement was announced by Genius on Instagram, revealing that the 80-date tour grossed a staggering $320.5 million with 1.3 million tickets sold. Every show on the tour was sold out, solidifying Drake’s dominance in the music industry.
The tour featured an impressive lineup of guest performers, including 21 Savage, J. Cole, Travis Scott, and Sexyy Red, among others. Fans across North America packed venues to witness the superstar’s performances, making this tour a landmark moment in hip-hop history.
Drake’s success with It’s All A Blur sets a new benchmark for the genre, further cementing his status as one of the biggest artists in the world.
The tour’s financial triumph eclipses previous records, including Kendrick Lamar‘s Big Steppers tour, which grossed $110.9 million in 2022. Drake’s latest achievement proves his dominance in both the music and live performance industries.
One of the standout moments of the It’s All A Blur tour came in July 2024, when Drake became the first rapper to earn over $5 million from a single arena concert in U.S. history. This milestone was reached during two consecutive sold-out shows in Washington, D.C., at the Capital One Arena, where ticket sales for the two nights totaled over $10 million.
The decision to stick with arena venues rather than stadiums turned out to be a winning strategy for the OVO boss. Each show averaged ticket prices around $293, attracting a total of 34,303 fans for the two-night D.C. performance. These shows became the highest-grossing concerts of Drake’s career, further solidifying his place as a titan in the entertainment industry.
