The Summer Sixteen Tour was a co-headlining concert tour by Canadian rapper Drake, and American rapper Future.[2] It began on July 20, 2016 in Austin, and concluded with its final show in Toronto, Ontario on October 8, 2016. Scheduled for 60 performances across North America, the tour was produced by Apple Music in conjunction with Drake's fourth studio album, Views, Future's fourth studio album Evol, as well as their collaborative mixtape What a Time to Be Alive. Guest appearances included Rihanna, Fat Joe, 2 Chainz, Ty Dolla $ign, Young Thug, Kanye West, and more.[3] The tour had a total gross of $84.3 million off 54 shows, making it the highest-grossing hip-hop tour of all time,[4] until he broke this record with his own co-headlining Aubrey & the Three Migos Tour in 2018.[5]
