The Club Paradise Tour was the second headlining tour by Canadian recording artist Drake. The tour came following the release of Drake's second studio album, Take Care. The tour's name spins off from the 2011 song "Club Paradise", a promotional single released ahead of the release of Take Care, which, in turn, borrowed its name from a strip club in Toronto. An official poster for the tour was released along with the announcement of the venture, showing Drake in the same room as is on the album cover, expressing the despondent conflicting stance about growing wealth and fame prevalent in the album.[2]
The tour featured Kendrick Lamar and A$AP Rocky as opening acts for the majority of the dates throughout the tour, with various acts being added as the tour expanded beyond North America. Due to the large demand and tickets selling out in minutes in multiple locations, extra tour dates were added to the itinerary, which included a second leg across the United States. The tour became a commercial success, grossing $42 million in the tour's duration. It was the highest-grossing hip-hop tour of 2012, according to Pollstar's annual year end tour chart.[3]
