Background

Drake and Future first collaborated in 2012 on "Tony Montana". In 2015 the duo had a single called "Where Ya At", a song later to be used on Future's third studio album, DS2.[6] Since then, other notable collaborations between the pair include Drake's song, "Grammys" featuring Future, and 2015's "Jumpman". The duo also worked on a collaborative mixtape entitled What a Time to Be Alive, which was released on September 20, 2015.[7] Throughout 2013 and 2014, during Drake's Would You Like a Tour?, Future made multiple guest appearances, often appearing to perform alongside to Drake, or serve as the opening act of the show.[8] Rumours of a co-headlining tour from Drake and Future first circulated following the release of What a Time to Be Alive, leading Drake to post on Twitter that he was planning to embark on a tour with Future in the summer.

On April 25, 2016, the Summer Sixteen tour was announced with Future serving as the co-headlining act.[9] Later on the same day, several dates were added on Drake's website, with dvsn and Roy Woods all set to perform as opening acts.[10]
