Drake and Lil Wayne announce 2 shows at NJ’s Prudential Center. Get tickets

Drake is going out with a bang.

The Hip-Hop superstar, currently on his ‘Big as the What? Tour’ with J. Cole, just announced he’s going to conclude the nationwide trek by co-headlining back-to-back concerts with Lil Wayne and Lil Durk at Newark’s Prudential Center on Thursday, April 4 and Friday, April 5.

These shows will be Drake’s first in the Garden State since he performed at Holmdel’s PNC Bank Arts Center back in August 2014.

Prior to the pair of Jersey shows, Champagne Papi, Lil Wayne and Lil Durk are slated to share the stage at Belmont Park, NY’s UBS Arena on Friday, March 29.

As of now, tickets are available for all three spring concerts.

Although inventory isn’t available on Ticketmaster for the Prudential Center concerts until Friday, March 8, fans who want to ensure they have tickets ahead of time can purchase on sites like Vivid Seats before tickets are officially on sale.

Vivid Seats is a secondary market ticketing platform, and prices may be higher or lower than face value, depending on demand.

They have a 100% buyer guarantee that states your transaction will be safe and secure and will be delivered before the event.

At the time of publication, there’s no word on whether or not Weezy will join the Drake and Lil Durk for their Thursday, March 28 UBS Arena gig.

J. Cole is not scheduled to join Drake for the NY and NJ shows.

Drake new music

Last October, Drake dropped his eighth studio album “For The Dogs.”

And this deep into his career, Champagne Papi isn’t close to slowing down.

Performing over 23 (!) tracks, he brings the heat over trap and sped-up soul beats with help from SZA, J. Cole, Bad Bunny, 21 Savage, Teezo Touchdown and so many more.

If you’re looking for the arena-sized anthems, check out “First Person Shooter” and “Calling For You.”

For those that prefer the 6 God’s sensitive side, check out the stirring “Gently,” mellow “Bahamas Promises” (which, as the album title foreshadows, includes dogs barking) and the standout “8am in Charlotte.”

Want to hear the far-reaching record in its entirety?

You can listen to “For The Dogs” here.
