YES DRAKE Announces Eco-Friendly College Tour

Grammy nominee Drake will embark on his first solo tour of the U.S., it was announced Monday (February 8). The Young Money MC will headline 25 cities beginning April 6 and will be implementing an eco-friendly policy throughout the tour.

The Away From Home Tour will stop at 15 college campuses along the way, including Penn State, Michigan State and University of Central Florida. Drizzy will also be making stops at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival and sharing the stage with Paramore and Ke$ha at the Bamboozle Festival in Rutherford, New Jersey.

The eco-friendly show, which is part of the 5th Annual Campus Consciousness tour and hopes to promote environmental sustainability through music, also includes Canadian rapper K-OS and synth-pop band Francis and the Lights. The showcase will also feature national and campus-based green and socially conscious groups educating students at the “half rock tour, half environmental campaign” events.

The spring tour will begin at Eastern Illinois University. Plans to add more dates are developing.
