051409-drizzy-weezy

Canadian rapper Drake announced exclusively to MuchMusic that there’s a massive late-summer tour in the works that will see him join three of hip-hop’s greats on stage.

“God willing, if everything goes according to plan and everybody’s schedule is in place, then I will be on tour with some amazing people,” Drake said. “One of them being Jay-Z, one of them being Lil Wayne, one of them being Young Jeezy and one of them being me.”

We’ve dubbed it the Jay-Z, Drizzy, Weezy, Jeezy outing. If only they could get Kanyeezy to jump on board too.

Drake played his first sold-out show in Toronto on Wednesday night. Surprise guests included local rapper Page who jumped on stage to trade verses for “I’m Still Fly,” as well as Bun B of UGK who performed “Uptown” from Drake’s So Far Gone mixtape.

Watch for a full interview with Drizzy as we travelled with him on show day in an upcoming episode of MuchNews Weekly on Mondays at 9 pm ET. Plus, check back often cause we’ve got tons more Drake news coming your way!

Offspring Tour (I Will Not Come Out And Play)

Tuesday, March 24th, 2009

032409-offspring

Everyone’s gotta make a buck these days - The Offspring have just announced a US/Canada tour with a variety of supporting acts. Joining the band (in different cities) will be Alkaline Trio, Street Dogs, Shiny Toy Guns, Sum 41, Pennywise and the Dropkick Murphys.

When was the last time we heard from The Offspring?! I know they’ve had something since “Pretty Fly” but I can’t for the life of me remember. Maybe “Why Don’t You Get A Job”?! I dunno. It’s been so long that we don’t have their band photo in our stockpile, that’s all I can say.

Canadian tour dates after the jump. Let’s cross our fingers that they play more Smash and less.. everything else? Oh, I’ve got to stop being such a cynic.

Britney Circus Tour in Toronto

Thursday, March 19th, 2009

031909-brit-main

Britney Spears rolled into the ACC last night for the first of 2 highly anticipated shows. It’s been a crazy couple years for Britney after several public meltdowns, a head-shave, and a full-fledged comeback.

Judging from the ravenous crowd Britney did not disappoint despite letting many talented dancers and circus performers deflect attention from her subdued performance and minimal stage banter.

Pussycat Dolls put on a great opening performance fresh from their MuchMusic appearance. Check out their online exclusive Much performance of Jai Ho here.

Check out some pix from the concert after the jump.

Fall Out Boy & 50 Cent?!

Tuesday, March 17th, 2009

031709-fob-50

Uhh… what kind of f**kery is this? 50 Cent will join Fall Out Boy for 5 dates on their Believers Never Die Part Deux tour, which starts on April 3. So far Fiddy has been confirmed for Dallas (April 14), and his other dates will be announced this week. Also joining the tour will be Cobra Starship, Metro Station, All Time Low and Hey Monday.

So what’s up with 50 being there? How many Fall Out Boy fans listen to 50 Cent? Is it as weird as I think it is? Will people throw bottles at him and he’ll throw Vitamin Water back?
