Drake reschedules Nashville concert, adds 2nd show at Bridgestone Arena

A Bridgestone Arena concert headlined by famed Canadian rapper Drake — previously scheduled for this summer — now takes place in October, according to the venue.

Once planned for June 19, Drake now plays the downtown arena on Oct. 2, a Monday night. Purchased tickets transfer to the new date, per Bridgestone Arena.

And when he returns this fall, the "God's Plan" hitmaker isn't set for only one night in Music City. He added a second night at Bridgestone Arena — Oct. 1 — to the upcoming "It's All A Blur" tour. Tickets to see Drake on Oct. 1 in Nashville go on sale Friday at noon via ticketmaster.com; pre-sale options launch Wednesday.

Both tour dates feature rapper and Drake collaborator 21 Savage.

One of the world's premier hip-hop artists, Drake's carved a name for himself behind a decade-plus of buzzed-about albums, including 2010's "Thank Me Later," 2016's "Views" and last year's "Honestly, Nevermind." His rescheduled "It's All A Blur" tour kicks off June 29 in Memphis. Upcoming dates include seven shows in New York City, four nights in Los Angeles and two nights in Drake's native Toronto.

Drake joins a jam-packed 2023 concert schedule at Bridgestone Arena that includes Dave Matthews Band (May 26), Blink-182 (July 16), Lil Baby (Sept. 9), Queen + Adam Lambert (Oct. 25), Madonna (Dec. 22) and more.
