Drake in Cologne: A mega event with a world star and remaining tickets!

In Cologne, where the excitement of a big event is in the air, today is a very special day: The Canadian megastar Drake flew to Cologne-Bonn Airport on August 14, 2025 with his luxurious private jet “Air Drake”. Drake, full name Aubrey Drake Graham, is known as the most commercially successful hip-hop artist of today. At 38, he has shaped the music landscape like no other and is a living phenomenon for his 83 million monthly listeners on Spotify Express reported.

His private jet, a Boeing 767-300F, is not just a means of transport, but a flying luxury oasis worth around 160 million euros. The jet's equipment leaves nothing to be desired: leather sofas, beds, luxurious bathrooms and state-of-the-art entertainment technology promise travel experiences in a class of their own. After his arrival, Drake was chauffeured in a Range Rover to a hotel at the cathedral, where numerous fans were already waiting for a glimpse of the star.

The concerts in the Lanxess Arena

On Friday, August 15th, Drake will give his first concert at the Lanxess Arena at 9 p.m. A total of three performances are planned, extending until Monday. The tickets are still in high demand, which underlines the popularity of the artist. Drake has set numerous chart records since his debut album *Thank Me Later* in 2010 and has had the most number one hits among rappers on the US charts. On stage he will delight the audience with his hits such as “God’s Plan”, “In My Feelings” and many more.

But who is this Drake actually? Originally born in Toronto, he first gained fame as an actor in the series *Degrassi: The Next Generation* (2001-2009) before launching into his musical projects. His influence on pop culture cannot be underestimated: Drake has won a variety of awards over the years, including four Grammys, and has become known for his blend of hip-hop and R&B. With a trained instinct for trends, he has also created economic impulses beyond his music, such as his contribution of 5% to Toronto's annual tourism sector.

A look at Drake's achievements

Drake is not only musically active, but also an entrepreneur. He founded the label OVO Sound, acts as a global ambassador for the Toronto Raptors and has enjoyed great success with his fashion brand OVO. His albums, such as *For All the Dogs* from 2023, regularly reach the top of the Billboard charts. Awards and records abound throughout his career, with him being known for the most number-one Billboard 200 albums and number-one Hot 100 hits.

What an exciting time for Drake fans in Cologne! Now we can only hope that his concerts will be an unforgettable experience not only musically but also atmospherically. It remains to be seen whether those waiting in front of the Hotel am Dom will be able to catch a glimpse of their idol again. What is clear, however, is that the anticipation for the live shows is already noticeable.
