Drake to headline Wireless fest with Burna Boy as special guest

Drake is set to headline Wireless Festival 2025 in the UK for all three nights with Burna Boy, PARTYNEXTDOOR, Summer Walker, Vybz Kartel.

Wireless Festival is an annual rap and hip-hop music festival that takes place in London, England, United Kingdom, and is owned and managed by Live Nation

For its 20th anniversary, the wireless festival will see Drake headline three nights in July. Finsbury Park, London will be the location for all performances from July 11-13.

Opening night (July 11) will feature Drake alongside PartyNextDoor with Summer Walker as a special guest. July 12 will feature special guest ‘The Mandem’ while Sunday July 13 will see Burna Boy and Vybz Kartel reggae artists perform. More artists will be announced at a later date.

This will be Burna Boy’s third time at the festival after performing in 2020, and 2022. Other Nigerian artists such as DBanj in 2012 and Davido in 2018, Tiwa Savage (2019), Ayra Starr, and Fireboy DML (2022), Asake, Shallipopi, Ruger (2024), and Rema (2022, 2024) have all performed at the festival. Though Wizkid was announced in 2016, he pulled out due to visa issues.

10 years ago, Drake performed on the same stage as headliner and featured the likes of Kendrick Lamar, Dj Mustard, ASAP Rocky, Rita Ora , Nicki Minaj and others who all performed on separate days. In 2018 he pulled up as a surprise guest on stage at the festival performing alongside Giggs, UK rapper and headlined the show that day in place of Dj Khalid who pulled out due to travel issues.

General ticket sales begin on Feb. 19 at 12 p.m. GMT at wirelessfestival.co.uk.
Drake is currently celebrating the release of his new collaborative album with PartyNextDoor, ‘$ome $exy $ongs 4 U’, which dropped on Valentine’s Day (February 14).

‘$ome $exy $ongs 4 U’ is Drake’s first full album since 2023’s ‘For All the Dogs’, which spent two weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. It’s also his first major project since his highly publicized rap beef with Kendrick Lamar.
