Drake Set to Headline All Three Days at Wireless Festival’s 20th Anniversary This Weekend
The Wireless Festival is celebrating its monumental 20th anniversary this weekend at London’s Finsbury Park, and today, organizers finally dropped the full lineup. In a historic first for the festival, Drake is set to headline all three days — a move that has fans buzzing with both excitement and skepticism.
The Toronto rapper has already landed in London, teasing his arrival with the message “the boy’s home” on his Instagram Story. Wireless has confirmed that each of his performances will feature a completely different setlist, offering fans a unique experience every night. Drake’s return to the Wireless stage marks his fourth time at the event, following appearances in 2012, 2015, and 2021.
Friday’s lineup brings a mix of R&B and hip-hop heavyweights including PartyNextDoor, Summer Walker, Leon Thomas, KWN, and Roy Woods. Saturday will turn the energy up with UK grime collective Boy Better Know, BigXthaPlug, Lancey Foux, Nemzzz, and SahBabii taking the stage. To close out the weekend, Sunday will bring major dancehall and Afrobeat vibes with performances from Burna Boy, Vybz Kartel, Popcaan, Spice, Masicka, and others.
Wireless is releasing a final batch of tickets today at 7 p.m. BST, giving fans one last shot to attend what promises to be a landmark edition of the festival.
Despite the festival’s milestone year, the lineup has sparked a wave of mixed reactions online. While some fans praised the artist selection, others felt the anniversary deserved a more expansive or diverse roster. “This ain’t giving 20th anniversary btw,” one Instagram user commented. Another added, “You cannot be fr.” Yet some remain hyped, with one fan writing, “Best line up I’ve ever seen tbh,” and another saying, “Sunday about to be a vibe 🔥🔥.”
Drake’s triple-headlining spot at Wireless arrives just after the release of his new single, “What Did I Miss?” — a reflective track addressing the aftermath of his public beef with Kendrick Lamar. The song has stirred conversation across social media and streaming platforms, offering a potential preview of themes on his upcoming ninth studio album, ICEMAN, which he says is “coming soon.”
The rapper’s Wireless performances will also kick off his broader UK and Europe tour, set to run through September. With its mix of iconic headliners, rising stars, and genre-spanning acts, the 20th edition of Wireless Festival is gearing up to be one of the summer’s biggest music events — whether the crowd agrees or not.
