August is set to be a sizzling month for rap fans. Drake will perform in Italy for the first time, with two shows scheduled at Milan's Unipol Forum: Friday, August 29 and Saturday, August 30. The shows are part of the European tour ‘Some Special Shows For EU’, which marks the Canadian artist's return to the continent following his "Assassination Vacation" tour in 2019. PartyNextDoor, Drake's longstanding collaborator and special guest, will join him on stage. Together, they released the album "$ome $exy $ongs 4 U" in February. The tour begins on Sunday, July 20 in Birmingham, immediately after the three nights in London at the Wireless Festival (11-13 July), where Drake will headline. From there, the show will visit numerous European destinations, including Munich, Paris, Berlin, Copenhagen, Manchester, and Amsterdam, before concluding on September 23 in Hamburg. Meanwhile, at the beginning of the month, Kendrick Lamar and SZA will perform in Rome's Olympic Stadium, helping to make the Italian summer a meeting point for the world's greatest rap performers.
