Drake‘s love letter to London reached its climax Saturday night (July 12) when he performed night 2 of his Wireless Festival 2025 takeover. His second outing of the weekend had a grittier tone as he sought to abandon the melodies that had fans swaying Friday night and return to his punishing ways.
“London, tonight is different,” Drake warned. “All that sweetheart, singing s—? That s— is over tonight. This is for my motherf—ing dogs. I see my dogs came out tonight.”
Drake’s menacing methods were felt by fans early on, as he jumpstarted night 2 with “IDGAF” alongside Yeat. The 2023 For All The Dogs heater seared through Finsbury Park, with a crowd of 50,000 fans-deep rapping alongside The Boy. The vengeful MC didn’t hold back, either. He tossed darts at LeBron and Kendrick while crowning the U.K. as the preeminent leader in hip-hop. With his Iceman single “What Did I Miss?” brewing in contention for a potential high debut on the Hot 100, Drake performed the song for the first time. Surprisingly, fans recited the lyrics with gusto despite the track being a mere week old.
Aside from Drake returning to prime form, his altruism peeked through on several occasions: First, he brought out a slew of U.K. stars to share the stage with him, including Skepta, Central Cee and Dave. Then, he called in his friends from the States to join in on his overseas escapades.
Read on to see what made Drake’s night 2 at Wireless Festival 2025 one for the books.
