Drake is no stranger to Lexington, having played Rupp Arena in 2012 and attending University of Kentucky basketball’s Big Blue Madness multiple times.

UK men’s basketball coach John Calipari helped announce the concert in a video posted to social media.

Drake’s most recent album, “For All The Dogs,” released on streaming platforms last month.

Kentucky head coach John Calipari and Drake greeted the crowd and members of the UK team during Big Blue Madness in Rupp Arena last October.
