After making a cryptic announcement on his Instagram Live a couple of days ago with French Montana, Drake has delivered on his promise to bring news to his city today.

The Boy has officially announced October World Weekend, which appears to be an extension of his coveted OVO Fest. Drake is bringing the heat back to his beloved city of Toronto with a three-day concert to gear up for the “Road to OVO Fest Tour.” It appears that the 6God plans to bring OVO Fest worldwide for its 10th anniversary in 2023. But, showing love to his city, he promises to “turn the city up for the summer” for the final weekend of July.

The Instagram sees a poster that announces the events which includes an All Canadian North Stars event on Thursday, July 28, a concert with Chris Brown and Lil Baby on July 29 and a Young Money Reunion on August 1 that will bring Lil Wayne and Nicki Minaj to Toronto’s Budweiser Stage for a performance.

Check out the official announcement below. Tickets go on sale on July 15 on Ticketmaster.
