The biggest hip-hop festival in Europe is back in London this weekend for some major 20th birthday celebrations.
More than 15,000 people will be descending on north London over the coming days to seemegastar Drake headline every single day of Wireless 2025, joined by a strong lineup of special guests. If you’re a Champagne Papi fan, you’d be a fool to miss this — it’s the first time that he’s performed in the UK in six years, and the first time any artist has headlined three days of a major festival.
When the star last headlined Wireless (for its 10th birthday), Drizzy told the audience that it was his ‘favourite crowd ever’. So let’s hope that means he spoils us with an extra special show this time round. If you’re planning to be there, here’s all the important information you need ahead of the event.
