London may be experiencing dizzying heat this week, but nowhere was hotter in the capital than the 2018 Wireless Festival. 

The annual extravaganza, which once again returned to Finsbury Park for a three-day stint, played host to performances from the likes of J.Cole, Stormzy, Rick Ross, Giggs, Davido, and Migos.

Few, if any, however could rival the rapturous response that greeted surprise guest Drake. 

Currently riding the wave of success with his blockbuster ‘Scorpion’ album, the Toronto titan had been rumored to make an appearance after Sunday headliner DJ Khaled dropped out due to “travel issues.”
