London’s Finsbury Park is going to host the Wireless Festival this year. It'll start on July 11, and wrap up on July 13. A few days ago, the festival’s official social media page made the announcement that Drake is one of the acts. He'll be headlining all three nights with three different setlists.

Fans were stoked about Drizzy performing, and their excitement turned into ticket sales. Friday’s show will be headlined by Drake & PARTYNEXTDOOR, with special guest Summer Walker. On Saturday, Drake will be joined by The Mandem, then by Burna Boy and Vybz Kartel on Sunday.

Interestingly, the full lineup for the festival wasn’t announced when the general sale opened on February 19. Within minutes, over 135,000 tickets were sold, setting a new ticket sale record in the festival’s history.

Only VIP packages are remaining for fans to grab at this point, but Sunday's VIP packages have already been sold out. The rap star has played the Wireless Festival before. He headlined in 2012 and holds the title for the audience's most requested artist," according to BBC.

The festival recently announced that Boy Better Know will take the stage on July 12, marking their return to live performance after eight years. Drake is currently touring Australia, and the tour has been a massive success so far. He is doing 14 shows until March 7.

Here are just some of the reactions to Drake selling out the Wireless Festival in record time: "I think fans are starting to move on from the beef," one person wrote on X, bringing up Drake's historic feud with Kendrick Lamar.

"The way drake been dissing americans on $$$4u, i fear we’re not getting another tour anytime soon 😭. glad he’s going to places he’s appreciated tho," another person tweeted.
