Drake was an Austin regular for a few years in the mid 2010s

Drake's last appearance in Austin was in 2016, when he kicked off his "Summer Sixteen" tour at the Erwin Center. This was during Austin's peak Drizzy era. The rapper, who makes no secret of his love affair with Houston, was practically a regular in the Texas capital. Earlier in 2016, the Toronto rapper made a surprise pop up at the Fader Fort during South by Southwest week. The performance include a gospel choir performing Ginuwine's "Pony" and an explosive performance of "Energy."

In 2015, Drake lit the night on fire with two headline sets at Austin City Limits Music Festival. To preview the show we conducted an emotional, in-depth (imaginary) interview with the artist.
