# Anita Max Win Tour

The Anita Max Win Tour is the ongoing seventh concert tour by Canadian rapper Drake. It commenced on February 4, 2025 in Perth.
The tour was announced on November 29, 2024, with seven dates across Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, and Auckland. The total number of shows was doubled by December 18, introducing a two-date stopover in Perth, and on January 14, 2025, further shows were added in Sydney and Brisbane. On January 29, the Auckland dates, originally set for February 28 and March 1, 2025, were rescheduled to conclude the tour on March 16. On February 25, the final four shows were abruptly cancelled due to scheduling conflicts: the affected dates are set to be rescheduled and additional shows are planned.

## Background

The tour, which is Drake's first in Oceania in eight years, since the Boy Meets World Tour (2017), 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.
The tour was announced on November 29, 2024, with seven dates across Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, and Auckland. 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. The tour was extended on January 14, 2025 to include further shows in Sydney and Brisbane. 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. On February 25, the tour, which was set to conclude on March 16, in Auckland, was abruptly cancelled due to scheduling conflicts: the affected dates are set to be rescheduled, with a spokesperson for Drake confirming that further shows are also planned, although, dates are yet to be determined.
According to The Courier-Mail, key stage equipment, including the central clear walkway used for the main performance, was shipped to Europe at the end of February and will arrive in the continent by late April. Georgia Clelland of The Courier-Mail speculated this may indicate a European leg of the tour to either begin or conclude with Drake's appearance as headliner for Wireless Festival in London in July 2025.

## Concert synopsis

An Anita Max Win Tour show consists of between 40 and 42 songs and lasts just over 2 hours, with Drake addressing the crowd throughout the show. The songs are broadly played in order of release from each studio album (except for 2010's Thank Me Later) of his discography. Select songs which contain guest appearances by Drake are also performed. The concert staging features Drake performing on a giant, lateral clear walkway.
Prior to the start of the show, Drake enters the arena through the crowd by descending its steps flanked by security. He wears a custom-made hoodie covered in bulletholes, with smoke also flowing from the back of the garment, while the instrumental for "Over My Dead Body" plays. According to David Friend of The Canadian Press, the attire and show introduction symbolizes that Drake is "still standing" following his publicized rap feud with Kendrick Lamar and other artists in 2024.
The tour attracted widespread attention for Drake giving out large sums of money to some concertgoers during the shows: this led to several subsequent ticketholders at other dates appearing with signs asking for financial aid, which Brenna Cooper of LADbible labelled as "genuinely dystopian".
