Drake and J. Cole are pushing back the start date for their headlining arena tour by several weeks.

The rap pair was initially set to kick off their tour with two shows in Denver this weekend but will now commence their “It’s All a Blur — Big As the What? Tour” on their already-scheduled show in Tampa, Florida, on Feb. 2.

More from Rolling Stone

“This Event has been Rescheduled to April 15th, 2024,” read a message from Ticketmaster to fans trying to access tickets for the original first show. “Please hold onto your tickets as they will be valid for the new date. You can locate your tickets by signing in to your online account.”

Shows in San Antonio, Oklahoma City, and New Orleans were also rescheduled, as was a solo Drake stop in Memphis. The rappers also added new shows, and Drake will perform several shows by himself in Pennsylvania, New York, and Alabama.

Reps for LiveNation, Drake, and J. Cole did not immediately respond to Rolling Stone‘s request for comment.

The dates mark an extension of the 50-date It’s All a Blur tour Drake completed this summer with 21 Savage. During the Montreal stop in July, J. Cole joined Drake on stage in place of 21 Savage. And before the run of shows kicked off, Drake served as a special guest at the 2023 iteration of J. Cole’s Dreamville Festival in April.

Following the release of Drake’s eighth studio album, For All the Dogs, the pair of rappers debuted at Number One on the Billboard Hot 100 with their collaboration “First Person Shooter.” The record, which has its lyrics referenced in the new name of the tour, marked J. Cole’s first Number One and Drake’s 13th, tying Michael Jackson’s Hot 100 record.
