For college students eagerly waiting for their chance to see Young Money’s golden child they’re in luck.
Right before his commander in chief leaves for jail, Drake is announcing a 25 date college tour around the country.
His first solo tour dubbed the “Away From Home” tour will be part of the 5th Annual Campus Consciousness Tour.
The tour produced by Pretty Polly Productions and non-profit environmental organization Reverb promotes eco-friendly tours around the country.
In support of the cause Drake will be using biodiesel fuel in his tour bus and biodegradable and recycled products on his bus and backstage.
Joining Drake onstage will be another Canadian rapper, K-Os and synth-pop band Francis & The Lights.
The tour kicks off April 6 at Eastern Illnois University with stops at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival as well as Penn State, Furman and New Jersey’s Bamboozle Festival.
