On Friday (July 11), London’s Wireless Festival roared back to life for its 20th anniversary. The revered U.K. institution — previously home to luminaries like Jay-Z, Ye, Rihanna, Daft Punk and Bruno Mars — reopened its gates for one of its most beloved guests: Drake.
Wireless was once Drake’s stomping grounds at the onset of his career. He first crossed the pond to headline in 2012 before making a triumphant return in 2015. In 2021, he popped up for a surprise cameo alongside What a Time to Be Alive partner Future. Fast-forward to 2025, and Drake is eyeing an unprecedented trifecta: headlining all three nights of the festival.
Night 1 served as a full-on love letter to R&B enthusiasts. Drake flexed his vocal stamina while gliding through B-side classics like “Jaded” and “Jungle,” using the night to pay homage to his R&B heroes. Among those hitting the stage, he welcomed millennial heartthrobs Mario and Bobby Valentino for their signature gems. From there, he dipped into the late 2010s to salute Bryson Tiller’s TrapSoul era before skating into the 2020s with a soul-stirring medley alongside GIVEON.
Things heated up when Drake reeled in his $ome $exy $ongs 4 U partner and OVO comrade PARTYNEXTDOOR for a teaser of their forthcoming UK Tour. The duo treated fans to a fistful of highlights ranging from “Somebody Love You” to “SpiderMan Superman,” before Drake tagged in R&B icon Lauryn Hill for a special mash-up of “Ex Factor” and “Nice for What.”
Check out the full setlist from Drake’s R&B-themed night 1 at Wireless Festival below.
