Drake talks New 2012 Club Paradise Concert Tour
(156 days ago)“I just like the energy, I like people to feel close to me because at the end of the day, I’m still at the beginning of my career,” Drake says.
The Toronto rapper will play for about 6,000 to 9,000 people every night, mostly college students, a demographic he said he feels most loyal to. “I chose to do that because I just feel like those are the kids that downloaded So Far Gone off of October’s Very Own that night and have been riding with me ever since,” he shared. “I don’t want them to ever feel like I left them or like we’re disconnected, so I’m just gonna go back and I’m gonna bring them a real tour into those college spaces.”
As the second wing of the tour expands overseas to the U.K. toward the end of March, so will his audience size. The 25-year-old admitted he’s not yet confident about playing the bigger arenas. “Watching me from a 500-level of an arena, I don’t know if I’m mentally there yet,” he confessed. “I don’t know if I can mentally accept that.”
Joined by Kendrick Lamar and A$AP Rocky, Drake’s North American tour is scheduled to start February 14.
