NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) - Rap superstar Drake will hold back-to-back concerts at the Smoothie King Center after the new year after his 2023 New Orleans date was previously “postponed indefinitely”.

A notice sent by Ticketmaster on Monday (Nov. 13) told ticket holders that Drake’s make-up dates for the previously scheduled Sept. 20 concert at the Smoothie King Center will take place on Monday, Jan. 29, 2024, and Tuesday, Jan. 30.

A presale for tickets will start on Wednesday, Nov. 15 through the Cash App and general on-sale begins Friday, Nov. 17.

These added performances to the “It’s All A Blur Tour” will feature opening support from rapper J. Cole, rather than from 21 Savage, who was scheduled to appear on the original bill.
