Away from Home Tour

The Away from Home Tour, also marketed as the Light Dreams and Nightmares Tour, was the first headlining concert tour by Canadian recording artist, Drake.

The tour began on April 5, 2010 in Slippery Rock, Pennsylvania and continued until November 6, 2010 with its final show scheduled in Las Vegas. Scheduled for 78 performances across the United States and Canada, the tour was also utilized as a part of an environmentally friendly campaign alongside non-profit organization Reverb.

The tour marks Drake's first concert tour after signing with Young Money Entertainment, as well as his first tour where he serves as the headline act. The concert tour, which featured k-os and Francis & The Lights as initial opening acts, is in support of Drake's debut studio album and extended play, Thank Me Later and So Far Gone, respectively. Most of the track-list from these projects were performed, such as singles "Best I Ever Had", "I'm Goin' In", "Successful" and concert closer "Over". Additional singles where Drake acts as a featured artist were also performed, including "I Invented Sex", "BedRock", and "Forever". Despite bookings for a European leg of the tour, it was ultimately scrapped in favor of domestic support of the projects.

The tour had a total gross of over $8 million off of 78 shows, making it one of the highest-grossing hip-hop tours of 2010.

Background
Drake and Reverb would announce that the Away from Home Tour would be expanded to various colleges throughout the United States.

Dubbed the "Campus Consciousness" leg of the tour, the organization would work with Drake in order to minimize the output of fossil fuels during the tour. By incorporating the use of biodiesel as well as introducing biodegradable and recyclable products throughout the tour, tents that featured green technology sought to teach students about carbon emissions and promote eco-consumer sampling.
