Drake to headline Wireless festival on all three days

Drake, the well-known rapper, has been announced as the headliner for the Wireless festival, which will take place in London this summer. This festival is particularly significant as it marks its 20th anniversary. Drake will be performing on all three days of the event, which is a remarkable achievement since it will be his first performance in the UK in six years. The festival is scheduled to occur from July 11 to July 13 at Finsbury Park. Alongside Drake, other talented artists such as Burna Boy, PARTYNEXTDOOR, Summer Walker, and Vybz Kartel are also set to take the stage during the weekend. Drake is famous for his hit song 'One Dance' and has been actively touring in Australia before returning to the UK. Fans are thrilled about the opportunity to see him perform live again, and many believe that this event will be a historic moment in music. Drake is expected to deliver unique performances each night, showcasing different sets that will keep the audience engaged and entertained. Some fans are particularly excited about the prospect of experiencing Drake's extensive catalog of songs, which they feel is diverse enough to make each night feel fresh and exciting. However, the announcement of Drake headlining all three days has sparked mixed reactions among fans. While many are enthusiastic about his performances, others have expressed disappointment over the lack of UK artists in the lineup. Music fan Rehea Shillingford shared her thoughts, stating, 'I don't think there needs to be three days,' while also mentioning that she is not against Drake. She believes that there are other British artists who could have been headlining the festival, such as Dave and J Hus, who have both made significant contributions to the UK music scene. Despite her concerns, she is still looking forward to seeing Vybz Kartel perform, as she feels he could have been a headliner as well. Another fan, Megaman from the garage and hip-hop group So Solid Crew, echoed similar sentiments, emphasizing that while Drake is undoubtedly a global superstar, it feels wrong to have a UK festival without a prominent UK artist in the lineup. He expressed his desire to see a top UK artist included in the festival's promotional lineup, stating, 'We have so many big artists in the culture, there's no harm putting any on there. ' The festival organizers have assured fans that more acts will be announced in the coming weeks, which has left many hopeful for the inclusion of more UK talent. Last year, the Wireless festival featured a variety of popular artists, including Nicki Minaj, 21 Savage, J Hus, and Doja Cat, attracting around 50,000 rap, R&B, and hip-hop fans each day. In 2023, Wireless signed a five-year agreement with Haringey Council to host the festival in Finsbury Park every summer until at least 2027, ensuring that fans can look forward to more exciting performances in the future. Tickets for the festival are set to go on general sale soon, and fans are eagerly anticipating the chance to secure their spots for this highly anticipated event.
