Drake announces new tour dates, including stop at Penn State’s Bryce Jordan Center

Toronto rapper Drake announced new concert dates on Monday, and the lineup includes a stop at Penn State’s Bryce Jordan Center.

As a stop on his “It’s All a Blur Tour — Big As the What?” tour, Drake will perform at 8 p.m. March 18. It’s the first time Drake last performed at the BJC during his 2011 “The Away From Home Tour.”

Starting in Denver, the “Nonstop” rapper added 22 shows, including rescheduled shows from his “It’s All a Blur” tour earlier this year. Other tour dates include rapper J. Cole, but the BJC stop is one of four where he will not be a featured performer.

Ticket sales begin Wednesday through a Cash App card presale and at 11 a.m. on Friday for the general public.

Drake, a five-time Grammy winner, recently released his eighth studio album “For All the Dogs,” featuring “Slime You Out” and “First Person Shooter” which both hit No. 1 on the US Billboard Hot 100.

Drake is one of several high-profile acts scheduled to visit the area early next year. Rapper Travis Scott will perform at the BJC on Jan. 14, country star Zach Bryan will bring his “The Quittin Time Tour” there on March 12, and comedian Jeff Dunham is scheduled to stop at the venue on March 22.
