Drake and J. Cole Deliver Epic Show at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena
Rappers Drake and J. Cole delivered on their promise of a show “as big as the Super Bowl” at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena. Accompanied by Lil Durk, the night was filled with rap, artistry, and fiery performances, making it an unforgettable experience for concert-goers.
Drake, the Grammy Award-winning artist, released his eighth studio album “For All The Dogs” in October, featuring hit tracks like “Slime You Out” with SZA, “IDGAF” featuring Yeat, and “Jimmy Cooks” featuring 21 Savage. The album also includes a collaboration with J. Cole on the track “First Person Shooter,” where they liken their partnership to the grandeur of America’s biggest sporting event, the Super Bowl.
The highly anticipated concert came after Drake rescheduled his Nashville shows twice. Originally planned for June, the show was moved to October and then again to February as part of his “It’s All A Blur – Big as the What? Tour,” this time with J. Cole joining him instead of 21 Savage.
Drake kicked off his 2024 tour in Tampa on Feb. 2 and made Nashville the second stop. Though photographers were not granted access to the show, here are some of the top highlights from the event:
