Drake Opens Hits-Filled ‘It’s All a Blur’ Tour Playing ‘Look What You’ve Done’ for the First Time in a Decade

Drake and 21 Savage delivered a jam-packed setlist for the opening night of the “It’s All A Blur” tour that launched at Chicago’s United Center on July 5. The show marked Drake’s first concert stretch across North America since the “Aubrey & the Three Migos” tour hit over 40 arenas in 2018.

Drake opened the concert sitting on a couch where he recited “Look What You’ve Done,” a cut from his 2011 album “Take Care,” while reading the lines off of a composition notebook. A younger version of Drake (there’s online debate regarding whether or not the boy is a hologram or if he’s real… it appears to be an actor whose face they’ve digitally altered on the venue’s jumbo screens) regularly appeared beside him for songs released earlier in his discography.

As expected, most of the tour’s visuals are next-level. Inside the venue, a giant statue of Virgil Abloh, the late trend-setter and Illinois native sat beside the stage. During the show, inflatable-looking sperm floated above the audience’s heads.

From there, he dove into a hits-filled set that included “Marvins Room,” “Headlines,” and “The Motto,” tallying up to a total of over 40 songs, according to setlist.fm.

21 Savage joined the festivities later in the show, making his entrance with “Red Opps,” and teamed with Drake for “Spin Bout U,” “Jimmy Cooks,” and “Rich Flex” from their “Her Loss” collab album. The rapper performed a total of 12 songs on his own while Drake’s solo set doubled that.

During the last few songs, someone in the audience threw their cell phone at Drake, hitting him in the arm in the process. In the past few weeks, several pop singers — namely Bebe Rexha, who was left with a black eye after someone hit launched a phone at her — have experienced similar unruly behavior from fans at shows. Drake didn’t react to or address the mishap on stage and closed with a vampish rendition of “Legend” from “If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late.”

Elsewhere, he took some time to tease his upcoming project, not revealing much besides the fact that it was “coming out soon for y’all.” He will perform a second night at the United Center on Thursday night before heading out to Detroit’s Little Caesars Arena for two back-to-back shows. The much-anticipated tour will continue through early October and wrap with two Toronto dates. See the full schedule here.
