The "6ixth annual" OVO Fest already has its first round of performers. Five months ahead of the major Toronto, Drake-curated music festival, today (March 17), the "Energy" rapper announced the first round of the OVO Fest lineup for the Aug. 2 and 3 party.

J. Cole will headline at Toronto's Molson Canadian Amphitheatre on Aug. 2 as a part of his Forest Hills Drive Tour. But, he won't be going it alone. On the first day of OVO Fest, Cole will be joined by Big Sean, YG, Jeremih, Bas, Cozz and Omen.

Though day one of OVO Fest is looking pretty fill, day two is much more of a mystery. This far, Drake himself is the only act confirmed for Monday, Aug. 3, with more "special guests" slated to be added to the bill.

Tickets for OVO Fest 2015 will go on sale on Friday, March 20.

The J. Cole/Drake billing marks just the latest major installment of Drake's OVO Fest. It's the sixth return of Drake at the festival and the third of J. Cole's. Other previous headliners include Outkast, JAY Z, The Weeknd, Frank Ocean and 2 Chainz. More acts will be announced in the coming weeks.
