It's All a Blur Tour was the fifth co-headlining concert tour by Canadian rapper Drake, in support of his first collaborative album with Atlanta-based rapper 21 Savage, Her Loss (2022), and his eighth studio album, For All the Dogs (2023). The tour commenced on July 5, 2023 in Chicago, and its first leg concluded on October 7, in Toronto. Its second leg began on February 2, 2024 in Tampa, and concluded on April 5, in Newark.[2][3] It was Drake's first North American tour in five years and consisted of 80 shows.[4]
21 Savage joined Drake as the co-headlining act for the first leg of the tour, but was substituted by other artists for the Canadian dates due to his legal travel constraints at the time. J. Cole performed at the shows in Montreal on July 14 and July 15, Travis Scott performed at the shows in Vancouver on August 29 and August 30, and Lil Baby performed at the October 7 show in Toronto.[5] The second American leg of the tour, co-headlined by J. Cole and subtitled It's All a Blur Tour – Big as the What?,[6] saw Lil Wayne being substituted for J. Cole as co-headliner for the final seven dates of the tour, between March 23 and April 5.
Various artists intermittently appeared as the opening act during the first leg: Skillibeng performed on July 8, 2023 in Detroit and July 17 (alongside Sleepy Hallow) and July 20 in Brooklyn; Lil Yachty performed at every show from July 23 until August 1, and on September 1 in Las Vegas; Sexyy Red performed on August 15 in Inglewood and August 25 in Seattle; and Central Cee performed at every show from September 5 until September 23. On the second leg, Lil Durk was the opening act for all shows from February 7, 2024, while Sexyy Red performed on March 6 and March 7 in New Orleans and on March 18 and March 19 in Oklahoma City. Zack Bia also performed on several dates across both legs of the tour.

Critical reception
The tour received highly positive reviews from critics, who praised Drake's energy, stage presence, ability to add unique mixes to old songs, and the theatrics he included between the songs.
Reviewing the tour's opening night in Chicago, Illinois, Grant Rindner for GQ wrote that "the presence of a massive Virgil Abloh statue" was one of the most "poignant" moments of the show.[7] In a review of Drake's performance at the Barclays Center, Ethan Shanfeld of Variety wrote that Drake "treated the arena audience to a nostalgic, high-concept exploration of his greatest hits".[8] In Complex's review of Drake's New York City shows, Jessica McKinney wrote that "the best part of the show was simply seeing Drake for the first time in a very long time", however, "he isn’t as tasteful or visionary when it comes to his live show visuals or aesthetic" and that "the stage props and breaks in the show were unnecessary and made no sense in the show".[9] Eric Skelton wrote that the visuals and theatrics "have been designed to go viral" whileJordan Rose stated that they "add nothing to the show" and that "they feel too over the top".[9]
