Drake Makes History with Three-Day Headline Set at Wireless Festival 2025

Drake has once again proven why he remains one of the most dominant forces in music. Over the weekend, the Toronto superstar became the first artist ever to headline all three days of London’s Wireless Festival, delivering back-to-back performances that captivated fans, dominated social media, and sent shockwaves through the global hip-hop scene.

The historic run began Friday, with Drake launching into a set stacked with fan favorites like “Started From the Bottom,” “God’s Plan,” and “Rich Baby Daddy.” The crowd at Finsbury Park roared as the 6 God brought out UK rap star Central Cee, debuting their unreleased track “100 Summers.” The collaboration between the transatlantic heavyweights was met with deafening cheers, immediately setting the internet ablaze.

On Saturday, the atmosphere shifted. Drake leaned into his Caribbean and Afrobeats influence, creating a more melodic and global vibe. He was joined onstage by Popcaan, Rema, and Darkoo, performing a genre-blending mix that had the audience dancing from front row to the back fence. A mashup of “Controlla” and Rema’s “Calm Down” was a standout moment, capturing the essence of Drake’s worldwide musical appeal.

By Sunday night, anticipation reached a boiling point. The final performance of his Wireless residency was nothing short of theatrical. Fans were on edge as Drake performed “What Did I Miss?” for the first time—a blistering new track widely interpreted as a response to Kendrick Lamar’s recent disses. With lyrics like “You dropped a verse, I dropped a culture,” Drake made it clear he wasn’t backing down from the year’s most talked-about lyrical feud.

The crowd, already hyped, went into overdrive when NBA superstar Kevin Durant was spotted vibing hard in the VIP section. A video of Durant dancing along to “No Face” quickly went viral, adding another cultural layer to the already electric weekend.

Beyond the celebrity sightings and lyrical fireworks, Drake’s triple headline set marks a significant moment in hip-hop history. Few artists could pull off three consecutive nights at a major international festival, let alone with fresh surprises each night and no dip in energy. It was a celebration of Drake’s legacy, his reach, and his ability to evolve with the culture while still shaping it.

“London, I love you forever. Nobody else could do this but us,” Drake told the roaring crowd on Sunday night. The moment was personal, powerful, and undeniably historic.

As Wireless Festival 2025 closes its gates, Drake’s performance leaves a lasting impression—not just on fans, but on the entire rap game. With rumors swirling of more new music and a possible tour announcement on the horizon, one thing is certain: Drake is far from finished.
