Over the weekend, across the pond stars flooded The 2015 UK Wireless Festival. Acts such as Drake, Kendrick Lamar, A$AP Rocky and more dominated the stage. Even with such a lineup of talent, there is usually only one that truly dominates the stage and from the looks of the massive crowd's reaction to headliner Drake's set, where he brought out ILoveMakonnen and Skepta, he was the victor in this round. Drake tears down the 2015 Wireless Festival stage and only word can truly embody the performance, "lit".
This weekend London crowds got a major invasion as acts such as A$AP Rocky, Kendrick Lamar, Nicki Minaj, DJ Mustard, Childish Gambino, Tinashe and PARTYNEXTDOOR took over the stage. While some acts stuck out more than others, whether it be good or bad, such as raptress Nicki Minaj arriving to her set 2 hours late which resulting in cutting into David Guetta's stage time . Once he took to the stage Drake, the "If You're Reading This Its Too Late" rapper, gave crowds exactly what they'd waited and hoped for, especially after bailing out on his performance last year.
According to The Guardian, "The Canadian rapper, who cancelled his appearance at Wireless last year, tears through a set bookended by Legend, one that soars into the stratosphere thanks to HYFR (Hell Ya F*ckin' Right) and is rendered euphoric by Hold On, We're Going Home. The crowd are with him every step of the way, screaming lyrics and reveling in guest appearances by ILoveMakonnen, PartyNextDoor and Skepta."
Not to mention the portion of his set where he performs hit, "Know Yourself", which undoubtedly sent the crowd into an absolute frenzy with cheers being heard for miles outside of the park. With Drake's epic energetic performances over the weekend, critics can't help but draw comparisons to Kanye West's stint as the Glastonbury headliner, which most are saying completely pales in comparison to Drake's run in the UK. Reports suggest that Drake may serve as headliner for the festival once again next year. Watch clip of Drake's "lit" performance for "Know Yourself".
