Drake’s Wireless Festival performance cut short by curfew, leaving fans disappointed

Drake’s headline set at the Wireless Festival in London ended prematurely after just 40 minutes, disappointing fans. The Canadian rapper started his show earlier than expected, indicating that he would continue performing until his microphone was cut off due to a strict curfew. Although Drake had previously delivered two longer sets on Friday and Saturday, Sunday’s performance was a letdown, featuring only three special guests: Popcaan, Rema, and Vybz Kartel. Fans were particularly upset about the short duration of the set, especially since the earlier part of the day’s line-up had seen Drake’s first performance slot mysteriously removed from the schedule. While performing, Drake appeared apologetic, quickly running through a medley of hits like ‘Controlla’ and ‘One Dance,’ but the new arrangements made it difficult for fans to engage. The set ended with Whitney Houston’s ‘I Will Always Love You,’ leaving many attendees confused and disappointed. The short set, which also suffered from poor crowd management issues, sparked frustration, particularly at the accessible exit, where fans, some of whom were disabled, experienced distress due to being held back by security. The festival organizers have yet to comment on the incident.
