Now in its sixth season, the popular prison drama will uncage new episodes after a slightly longer stint off-screen.

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.

Revellers were clearly elated with their replacement given the thunderous response which greeted his arrival on stage at the apex of Giggs’ performance.

Though brief, Drizzy’s set masterfully magnetised all in attendance, who in unison belted out smashes such such as ‘God’s Plan’ and ‘Nice For What.’

With music’s reigning royal closing out the multi-day spectacle, it made for a fitting climax to Urban music’s most resonating festival.
