Canadian rapper and pop idol Drake is poised to make history as he’s been revealed as the headlining act for all three nights of this summer’s Wireless Festival, marking his first UK performance in six years. To commemorate the festival’s 20th anniversary, the Canadian hip-hop star will command the main stage at London’s Finsbury Park from Friday, July 11 to Sunday, July 13.
He will be joined by an impressive lineup of special guests, including Burna Boy, PARTYNEXTDOOR, Summer Walker, and Vybz Kartel. The identity of ‘The Mandem,’ set to appear on Saturday, remains a closely guarded secret. However, music radio station Capital Xtra speculates that ‘The Mandem’ could be the likes of Central Cee, Giggs, Dave, J Hus, AJ Tracey, and Jorja Smith.
38-year-old rapper Drake has been in ‘Headlines’ due to his ongoing feud with Super Bowl 2025 star and Compton rapper Kendrick Lamar. However, Drake will be ‘Toosie’ sliding with joy as the rapper sold out his presale tickets for all three dates at Wireless in just minutes. For fans who missed out, do not fret, as there are still tickets up for grabs. See below for how to get yours.

viagogo and resale tickets
Sites such as Viagogo and Vivid Seats allow fans to buy resale tickets from other fans. However, it is important to note that many event promoters say tickets should not be resold after initial purchase and will not be valid for admittance to gigs.
Fans attending live events with tickets acquired through resale websites are advised to double check the ticket terms and conditions at the point of sale – such as Ticketmaster or Live Nation – to ensure a smooth live event experience. Tickets could be voided if they were found to be bought second-hand. As a result, fans are buying at their own risk.
With that said, viagogo also commented: “viagogo is a regulated marketplace where fans have the guarantee.”
