Drake to Headline Wireless Festival's 20th Anniversary with Record-Breaking Three-Night Performance in London
February 16, 2025
Drake is set to make history by headlining the 20th anniversary of the Wireless Festival from July 11-13, 2025, at London's Finsbury Park, becoming the first artist to perform three consecutive nights with unique setlists each evening.
Presale tickets will be available starting at midday on Monday, followed by general sales beginning at midday on Wednesday, with high demand expected.
The festival will feature confirmed performers including PartyNextDoor, Summer Walker, and Burna Boy, with more acts to be announced.
This announcement comes shortly after the release of Drake's new album with PartyNextDoor, titled '$ome $exy $ongs 4 U', which has received generally positive feedback despite mixed reviews.
Drake's album has achieved record-breaking success, including the most first-day streams for an R&B/soul album on Apple Music, surpassing Kendrick Lamar's previous record.
Drake's announcement follows a recent diss track by Kendrick Lamar during the Super Bowl, which has intensified the competitive tension between the two artists.
Fans have expressed mixed reactions on social media regarding Drake's headline slot, with some criticizing it in light of the ongoing feud with Lamar, while others are excited for his return to the UK.
Ticket demand for Drake's tour has seen a significant spike, with a 12,000% increase compared to Kendrick's 7,600% during the same period.
Burna Boy will make his Wireless debut alongside Vybz Kartel, who was recently released from prison after his murder conviction was overturned.
Young Thug has publicly praised Drake's return to form, calling him the 'No. 1' artist, further highlighting the anticipation surrounding the festival.
Kendrick Lamar has announced an extension of his Grand National Tour, adding European dates for July, coinciding with Drake's festival performances.
While specific songs for each night remain undisclosed, fans can expect a mix of Drake's greatest hits, lesser-known tracks, and potential guest appearances.
