Background

Drake announced the Away From Home Tour, his first solo headlining tour since his tour alongside his fellow Young Money Entertainment artists on the America's Most Wanted Tour. Drake teamed with Reverb during the tour and it was described as a “Campus Consciousness Tour”, focusing on cutting down usage of non-biodegradable and recyclable products, as well as, using biodiesel fuel during travel between cities.[2]

The tour was very successful. It was one of the highest-grossing hip-hop tours of 2010, earning around $8 million.[3]

There were plans for Drake to perform in Europe during the tour but they were later cancelled because he wanted to focus on more North American shows.[4]
