Rapper Drake has been confirmed as the headliner for all three nights of this year’s Wireless Festival, marking his first UK performance in six years.
The One Dance hitmaker will deliver a unique set each night as the festival celebrates its 20th anniversary at Finsbury Park, London, from July 11 to 13.
Joining Drake on the lineup are Burna Boy, PARTYNEXTDOOR, Summer Walker, and Vybz Kartel.
The Canadian rapper has been at the center of a long-running feud with Super Bowl headliner Kendrick Lamar, whose own UK tour coincides with Wireless, including a performance in Birmingham just a day before Drake’s opening set.
Their rivalry, which reignited over the past year, intensified after Kendrick’s diss track Not Like Us won a Grammy, sparking an ongoing legal battle initiated by Drake.
Drake first headlined Wireless in 2012, with festival organizers noting he remains the most requested artist by fans.
His latest project, Some Sexy Songs 4 U, a joint album with PARTYNEXTDOOR, comes ahead of their performance together on Friday.
R&B sensation Summer Walker, who impressed fans at Finsbury Park in 2022, is also set to perform on the same day.
Sunday will see Afrobeats giant Burna Boy make his Wireless debut, while dancehall legend Vybz Kartel, who was released from prison last year after a murder conviction was overturned, will take the stage.
More artists are expected to be announced as the festival approaches.
Last year’s edition featured performances from Nicki Minaj, 21 Savage, J Hus, and Doja Cat, attracting around 50,000 hip-hop, R&B, and rap fans.
Wireless secured a five-year deal with Haringey Council in 2023, ensuring its annual return to Finsbury Park until at least 2027.
