Drake Returns to London for Wireless Festival’s 20th Anniversary
Wireless Festival is back, and it’s pulling off something no festival has done before. To celebrate its 20th anniversary, Wireless 2025 is giving fans what they’ve been begging for—Drake. Not once. Not twice. Three times. The Toronto legend will headline all three nights, delivering a different setlist each evening of the festival. That’s right, no repeats, no recycled bangers—just back-to-back-to-back history at Finsbury Park from 11-13 July 2025.
And as if that wasn’t enough, Wireless 2025 is stacking the lineup with global heavyweights. Expect Burna Boy, PARTYNEXTDOOR, Summer Walker, and Vybz Kartel, with many more names to drop. This isn’t just another festival; it’s a moment.
Drake’s Wireless Residency: Three Nights, Three Setlists, One Epic Takeover
Drake has been part of Wireless history since his first headline slot in 2012. Over the years, he’s made surprise appearances, but this time he’s back in a way that no artist has ever done before. Three nights, three different shows—one for the history books.
Fans have waited six years for Drake’s UK return, and Wireless is delivering it in the most extra way possible. No two nights will be the same. Expect deep cuts, surprise guests, and setlists curated to keep the crowd on its toes.
Burna Boy Brings Afrobeats Power to Wireless 2025
Burna Boy is officially making his Wireless debut, and he’s not just showing up—he’s shutting it down. As the biggest Afrobeats star on the planet, he’s gracing the festival with a UK festival-exclusive performance. That means if you want to see Burna Boy live in the UK this summer, Wireless 2025 is your only shot.
With an arsenal of global anthems like Last Last, Ye, and Sittin’ on Top of the World, Burna Boy will turn Finsbury Park into a full-blown Afrofusion celebration.
PARTYNEXTDOOR and Summer Walker: The R&B Takeover
Fresh off his joint album $ome $exy $ongs 4 U with Drake, PARTYNEXTDOOR is back to bring his signature OVO vibes to Wireless. This is a reunion you don’t want to miss. Expect sultry vocals, deep basslines, and the kind of atmospheric R&B that turns a festival crowd into a full-on mood.
And then there’s Summer Walker, the undisputed queen of contemporary R&B. After leaving Wireless in 2022 with an emotional, unforgettable set, she’s back—for her only European festival performance of the year. If you’re a fan of soulful, raw, and deeply felt live music, this is your moment.
Vybz Kartel: A Dancehall Icon’s UK Debut
Yes, Vybz Kartel is performing in the UK. Yes, you read that right. The King of Dancehall is making his long-awaited European return, and Wireless 2025 will be his first UK performance ever. This is the stuff of dancehall dreams.
With a legacy spanning decades and hits like Fever, Summertime, and Romping Shop, Kartel’s set will be one of the most legendary moments in Wireless history. If you want to be part of something iconic, this is it.
