Drake is set to make festival history this weekend as he becomes the first artist ever to headline all three nights of London’s Wireless Festival. The landmark performance will unfold at Finsbury Park, with a stacked lineup that includes PartyNextDoor, Burna Boy, Vybz Kartel, Summer Walker, BigXthaPlug, and Lancey Foux. Now celebrating its 20th year, the festival is pulling out all the stops—and Drake is firmly at the center of the celebration.
In the lead-up to the event, the rapper has already touched down in London and appears to be crafting a larger-than-life experience for his fans. A clip posted by NFR Podcast on X captured him in conversation with streamer Adin Ross, floating the idea of flying a group of content creators in on a private jet. “I’ll send the plane,” Drake said. Ross seemed on board, hinting that the streaming world may have a front-row view.
Though no official list of guests has been confirmed, speculation points to Ross being among them. The buzz comes just days after Wireless revealed its full lineup, blending international heavyweights with rising UK stars for what promises to be a genre-spanning weekend of music.
Drake launches tour, teases new era at Wireless
Drake’s relationship with the Wireless stage stretches back more than a decade. He previously performed at the festival in 2012, 2015, and 2021—each time raising the bar. This year, organizers say each of Drake’s three sets will feature a different setlist, designed to give fans a fresh experience each night. Upon arriving in the UK, Drake marked the moment on Instagram, posting, “The boy’s home.”
His appearance will also serve as the opening leg of his European tour, which runs through September. The tour is expected to include both new material and fan favorites, with Wireless serving as its grand launchpad.
Adding to the momentum, Drake recently dropped a new track titled “What Did I Miss?” The song offers a candid look at the fallout from his high-profile feud with Kendrick Lamar, nodding to friends who distanced themselves during the public back-and-forth. The track is expected to appear on his forthcoming album, ICEMAN, though an official release date has yet to be shared. Nonetheless, his three-night reign at Wireless marks a new chapter in his already storied career.
