It's All a Blur Tour

Overview

It's All a Blur is the late-catalog arena retrospective that started as a 21 Savage co-headline run in summer 2023 — billed off Her Loss and timed to For All The Dogs's October release — and then continued in early 2024 as 'It's All a Blur Tour — Big as the What?' with J. Cole replacing Savage as the co-bill. Across both legs, the tour played roughly 79+ shows in North America, with multi-night residencies in every major Drake market (Toronto, NYC, LA, Chicago, Atlanta, Miami). The staging was the most ambitious of Drake's career: a kinetic sculpture rig of suspended objects (a Ferrari, a basketball, a tractor, life-size figurines) descended over the crowd during the show's mid-section, and a long catwalk extended to a B-stage that pushed Drake into the upper-bowl proximity. The setlist functioned as a career medley — Take Care, Nothing Was the Same, Views, Scorpion, CLB, and For All The Dogs cuts all rotated — with Savage taking the back-half spotlight on the 2023 leg (her loss material like 'Rich Flex,' 'On BS,' 'Major Distribution') and Cole anchoring the 2024 leg (joint moments on 'First Person Shooter'). Billboard Boxscore reported the tour grossing in the upper nine-figures range, placing it among the highest-grossing rap tours ever documented. The cycle ultimately served as the live framing for the Kendrick Lamar / Drake exchange that began mid-tour in March 2024.
