Annabel Rackham, a culture reporter, reports on Drake’s final performance at London’s Wireless Festival, which left fans feeling a bit shortchanged as the rapper’s headline slot ended after just 40 minutes. Despite appearing on stage ten minutes earlier than scheduled, Drake made a promise to perform until his microphone was cut off due to the strict 21:30 curfew in place. Fans were disappointed that his set featured only three special guests – Popcaan, Rema, and Vybz Kartel, compared to the previous night’s show which included 13 special guests.
The day started with an official setlist that advertised two Drake sets, but one mysteriously disappeared as the afternoon progressed. Drake surprised fans by entering the stage shortly after Burna Boy had finished, displaying a more agitated demeanor in contrast to his previous performances. The set began with an unreleased collaboration with British rapper Central Cee, who did not physically appear on stage but instead mouthed the lyrics from the front row. Despite feeling apologetic, Drake tried to win over the crowd by promising to perform some of his biggest hits, although the rushed nature of the performance made it challenging for fans to sing along.
Drake’s set included a surprise appearance from Nigerian rapper Rema and a brief cameo from Jamaican dancehall artist Vybz Kartel. Unfortunately, due to time constraints, there was only time for two more solo songs before Drake bid farewell to the audience from a crane as Whitney Houston’s “I Will Always Love You” played. Fans took to social media to express their disappointment over the short headline set, with many unaware of the local curfews in place at the park. Scenes of distress were also reported at the accessible exit, with some fans pleading to leave due to being disabled and feeling trapped in a restrictive space.
