Background

The tour was announced in October 2011, with dates released in December.[2] The first leg of the tour saw the rapper performing at college arenas in the U.S.. Drake stated in an interview with MTV that the label wanted him to embark on a stadium tour.[3] He further commented,
"I fought for this tour, I fought really hard for this tour because, of course, they want me to go get the big bucks, go into the stadiums and cash out. But I was just like, 'I really made this album for the same people that supported me since day one'".[4]
