The terrifying incident happened just minutes after rapper Drake, 38, performed on the Wireless stage.
Despite what many called a stellar performance, many fans were left disappointed as they were led to believe they'd be getting two Drake sets - one at 18:25 and one at 20:55.
But the first mysteriously vanished from the schedule mid afternoon.
Festivalgoers were left even more confused when his set finished after just 40 minutes due to London's strict 9:30pm curfew.

He told the crowd: "London, I will love you for the rest of my life", as he rushed through his set.
Writing on Instagram after the show, Drake said he didn't know what had happened but thanked festivalgoers for their support.
In a post he said: "Thank you London. Need some time to process what just happened so I don't have my usual caption…just thank you so much for the best 3 nights of my performance career."
Wireless festival, Drake and Top5 have been approached for comment.

Moment out-of-control TRACTOR ploughs into house after Mercedes crash outside petrol station sent it veering off course
THIS is the shocking moment that a driver caused a tractor to veer off the road and into a row of houses. The driver was under the influence of drugs, when he collided with the tractor and caused it to go barrelling into a house. 3 A silver Mercedes can be seen barrelling into a yellow tractor Credit: Cheshire Police 3 The tractor bounced down the road, following the collision Credit: Cheshire Police 3 Finally, the tractor smashed into a nearby house destroying it Credit: Cheshire Police In the video, the yellow tractor can be seen driving down the road on April Fool's Day - when the silver Mercedes drives straight into its path. The tractor jolts from the impact, temporarily lifting its front wheels into the air. The massive vehicle then barrels forward, continuing to bounce along the road at a rapid speed. Meanwhile, the silver Mercedes pulls into the road with part of its front plating hanging off. Read More on UK Crime The tractor, carrying a giant, red agricultural tanker behind it, then blasts through a front lawn fence and smashes into a nearby home. Then, it crashes through the wall of a house and shatters the building into pieces. Plumes of smoke begin to billow from the crash site, while a yellow flash can be seen in the cockpit. The footage, released by Cheshire police, was taken from a Shell garage on Vicars Cross Road. Most read in The Sun Matthew Cumpsty was hauled before Chester Crown Court on July 15 to be sentenced in relation to the shocking road accident. He represented himself at court and said he was "devastated" at what had happened. He added: "I would just like to say I have never been in trouble before." Cumpsty was handed a 12 month community order, which includes 200 hours of community service. The 52-year-old was also ordered to pay £85 in costs and a £114 surcharge. During the court appearance, he admitted to having a previous caution for unlawful drug possession from 2008. After the April 1, 2025, crash, a road side drug test found cocaine in Cumpsty's system and a following blood test found that he had 65mcg/l of BZE in his system. The legal limit is 50mcg/l. After the sentencing, police constable Richard Phillips said: "While Cumpsty has shown remorse for his actions, the impact of his actions that day were life-changing and it was pure chance that nobody suffered any serious injuries. "As a result of one bad decision to get behind the wheel while under the influence, several families were left homeless and commuters travelling into Chester were left with serious disruption for several weeks while repair work was undertaken. "In addition, Cumpsty is facing a lengthy driving ban, I hope that this ban will give him time to reflect on his actions that day." More to follow...

Brit rock star welcomes twins with stunning model wife as he shares first pics and unusual names
A HUGE Brit rock star has welcomed twins with his stunning model wife, sharing their first pics and unusual names. 6 Bring Me The Horizon's Oli Sykes has welcomed twins with his stunning model wife Credit: Getty 6 She shared their first pics and unusual names to Instagram Credit: instagram In an Instagram post, she shared an image of the tots - writing, 'amor infinito,' which translates to "infinite love", adding, "grey & zélia." Oli, who has been married to Victoria since 2017, reshared the image to his Story. The pair met while she was working as a model for his Drop Dead Clothing collection. It was only back in May that read more on Oli Sykes In a video he shared, both Oli and Victoria could be seen sitting at their dining table with a box each in front of them. Opening the boxes, they each got out a cupcake that would end up revealing the gender of their twins. "Oh my god," Victoria said as she opened her box. "Are you ready?" she asked Oli, to which he said: "Bite it, bite it." Most read in Music Victoria took a bite and then revealed that there was pink sponge inside the first cupcake. Oli declared: "We're having a baby girl!" Huge UK rock star reveals his stunning girlfriend is pregnant with twins The rocker then opened his box and munched into his cupcake. As Oli revealed the colour inside his cake, the pair both screamed loudly. "Oh my god, no f**king way, no f**king way," Oli said as he turned the cupcake around so it was in view of the camera lens. Showing off the blue sponge, it was revealed that the pair would be welcoming a baby daughter and a baby son. Victoria then said: "This is crazy!" Commenting on the post, one person said: "Congratulations to you both." Another added: "This is the cutest thing I've ever seen CONGRATS." What are the different types of twins? TWINS are when two children are produced in the same pregnancy. They can be identical or different, and two boys, two girls, or a girl and a boy. Twins are quite rare, but are usually born completely healthy What are the different types of twins? Monozygotic – identical twins ('one cell' twins) Dizygotic – also known as 'fraternal', non identical twins. Babies are no more alike than siblings born at separate times, and they can be the same or different sexes Conjoined twins – identical twins that are joined together. They are extremely rare, and it's estimated they range from one in 49,000 to 189,000 births, although around half are stillborn, and one third die within 24 hours. Can identical twins be two different sexes? Identical twins are always of the same sex because they form from the same fertilised egg that contains either female or male chromosomes. The single egg is divided into two separate embryos, and they occur in about three in every 1000 deliveries worldwide. Therefore, boy/girl twins are always fraternal (or dizygotic), as their chromosomes are either XY (male) or XX (female). What are Di Di twins? Di Di stands for Dichronic Diamniotic, and they are the common type of twins. They have their own amniotic sacs and placenta, so are just sharing the womb of the mother, and are therefore not identical. There are few complications with Di Di twins, so have a good chance of being born completely healthy without intervention from your doctor. Di di twins are more likely to be non-identical than identical. "You hit the lottery omg twins and a boy n girl," penned a third. A fourth then wrote: "OMG Oli is going to be a father! Did not expect the news of twins, but congrats to you both." While a fifth said: "OMG I'M FOLLOWING HAPPINESS!!!!! PLEASE BE HEALTHY!!! Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!" And a sixth added: "So exciting. Best feeling in the world." Bring Me the Horizon are a British rock band. They were formed in Sheffield more than 20 years ago in 2004. The group currently consists of lead vocalist Oli, drummer Matt Nicholls, guitarist Lee Malia and bassist Matt Kean. 6 It was only back in May that he told fans about his wife's pregnancy Credit: instagram/olobersykes/ 6 In a gender reveal video, they found out they are expecting both a boy and a girl Credit: instagram/olobersykes/ 6 Oli is loved up with wife Victoria Credit: Instagram/Olobersykes 6 The band was formed in 2004 Credit: Getty
