Drake Perth show live updates: Canadian rapper launches Australian tour with RAC Arena gig
Canadian rap superstar is kicking off his Australian tour with his first of two shows at Perth’s RAC Arena.
The Anita Max Win tour marks the rapper’s first tour Down Under since 2017.
Stay up to date with live coverage of Drake’s first Australian show at Perth’s RAC Arena.
Another OUTFIT change into Hotline Bling
Drake is calling Perth late night and we’re picking up!
Swapping for camo pants for baggy whites, he told Perth we sound “f-ing incredible”.
Canada represent!
Canadian producer Future the Prince has joined his countryman and turned RAC Arena into an underage club. And the people are digging it.
Moses had parted the Perth mosh, for the first time in his career! “This is a moment I dreamt about for a long time, I want Perth to be the first,” he said.
Promising to enter the mosh pit and perform in the middle for the first time in his career, he actually did it.
And with GOD’d PLAN uniting a mad crowd.
With some muscle from his security unit, he’s made it in and out safely, god knows how.
DRIZZY flicked the switch!
After telling the crowd that “they say a lot of people don’t come to Perth”, he’d wanted us to know we deserve some love!
And more dancing across his stage-to-stage bridge!
OUTFIT CHANGE
He’s dropped the all black sweats for a puffy camo jacket and pants...
And TWO stages! He’s dancing between them and the crowd is following him from one side of the Arena to to the other like seagulls to a chip.
Throwing back to his bangers
The Motto is on the menu as Drake cooks up his classics for an adoring crowd.
He’s given some life to Perth
“This is my first time back here since future music festival 2017.
Point is... I’m on a mission.
We took a long flight over here and I put together a special show for you.”
The great man has emerged from the crowd in a veil of smoke!
Taking a seat in a stage couch, the crowd has gone crazy for the star who stars with a slowed version of Passionfruit.
Mosh is building…
Barely flailing a third of the standing zone earlier, the mosh pit is sensing something’s about to give and has filled up dramatically.
Close to a full house now!
Is it in God’s Plan for Drake to perform tonight?
Twenty minutes after the hype DJ set we’re still waiting for the man of the hour.
This very youthful crowd is getting a tad impatient as the temperature in RAC Arena seems to be increasing.
It’s a mystery how so many people have not bothered with even a cup of water.
