On Friday, Drake begins his Wireless residency with PARTYNEXTDOOR, who he released a recent collaborative album with and who is joining him on tour. They'll also bring special guest Summer Walker.
Saturday sees Drake return to the Finsbury Park stage with The Mandem, while on Sunday he'll wrap things up with special guests Burna Boy and Vybz Kartel. The full Wireless line-up is yet to be announced.
If you can't make it to any of Drake's three nights at Wireless, there are still other options to see him on his tour in the UK and Europe.
He'll travel on to the Utilita Arena in Birmingham on 20 and 21 July, followed by another double set of dates at Manchester's Co-op Live on 25 and 26 July.
The tour heads over to Europe for the rest of the summer, where the rapper will perform in Amsterdam in July. He'll be in Antwerp, Zurich, Cologne, Stockholm, Copenhagen and Milan in August, before moving on to Paris, Berlin, Munich, and finally Hamburg in September.

There's another pre-sale on Thursday, 5 June and his tour dates will go on general sale on Friday, 6 June, with all ticket sales starting at 12pm and the waiting room opening at 11:45am.

Camper's ‘repeated cries' spark rescue mission — but he was singing songs by infamous rock band
He just wanted to be a big rock star. Rescue teams in British Columbia responded to what they thought was a camper in distress, but the screams they heard in the mountainous forest turned out to be an outdoorsman belting out his favorite Nickelback songs. The man had been solo camping the Boulderfields near Central Okanagan, a popular destination for bikers and rock climbers in the province, when two hikers called 911 after hearing what they described as 'repeated cries.' Central Okanagan Search & Rescue Members of the Central Okanagan Search and Rescue crew happened to be out in the woods training nearby when the calls came in, and immediately started looking for the imperiled nature lover, deploying their drone team and enlisting two Royal Canadian Mounted Police to assist in the effort. As the search teams neared the sound of the bleating echoing through the darkened woodlands, they heard 'faint yelling … but couldn't make out what was being said,' they described in a statement online. 'Was it 'help'? Or worse, Nickelback?' the snarky post read. Turns out the camper was 'singing his heart out to the trees, blissfully unaware that the acoustics of the Boulderfields had turned his tent-side concert into an accidental distress signal,' the teams wrote. 'He wasn't in trouble,' said COSAR Search Manager Duane Tresnich. 'Unless you count his singing.' COSAR noted that its rescue services are provided free of charge, adding, 'and the money you save could be spent on singing lessons.' AFP via Getty Images Nickelback, the much-maligned Canadian alt-rock group that got its start in Alberta, is known not only for selling over 50 million albums worldwide, but also as something of a pop-culture punchline. The band even made a documentary in 2023, 'Hate to Love: Nickelback' about spending two decades as the 'most hated band in the world,' despite their mega-success by any objective measure, with eight songs hitting Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart including 'How You Remind Me' and 'Photograph.'

Over a Million Americans Told to Combine Errands as Alert Hits 9 States
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Air quality alerts had been issued for nine states as of Sunday morning, with residents in some areas advised to combine errands in order to help reduce pollution levels. Why It Matters According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), studies have linked particle pollution exposure to various health effects, including respiratory symptoms—such as coughing and wheezing, the development of asthma and increased susceptibility to respiratory infections. What To Know In collaboration with local agencies, the National Weather Service (NWS) had published air quality alerts for the following states as of Sunday: Minnesota Wisconsin Michigan Illinois Indiana New York Vermont Maine New Hampshire These were issued due to potentially hazardous levels of fine particulate pollution triggered by wildfire smoke flowing into the U.S. from neighboring Canada. In Indiana, advisories affecting over a million residents across numerous counties, including but not limited to Lake, Porter, and Elkheart, advised locals to take steps to help reduce pollution such as avoiding the use of drive-thru lanes and combining errands into one trip. Authorities also suggested limiting vehicle use by walking, biking, or using public transportation if possible. Air quality alerts had been in effect for parts of the U.S. for multiple days due to Canadian wildfire smoke. In a social media post on Friday, AccuWeather reported that the smoke resulted in Chicago having "the worst air quality in the world for several hours and blanketing the skyline in haze" What People Are Saying AccuWeather meteorologist Dan Pydynowski told Newsweek on Friday: "Smoke and haze creating poor air quality at times will likely continue to be an issue in [the Great Lakes, Upper Midwest and central U.S.] through the weekend and into early next week. "The smoke/haze will gradually spread south and east later this weekend into early next week as well, perhaps getting into parts of the Northeast U.S. and the central-southern Plains too." NWS Burlington, Vermont, said on X, formerly Twitter, Saturday: "If you've noticed it becoming hazier this afternoon, you're not mistaken. Canadian wildfire smoke is again entering the region and it is expected to linger for a couple days. Air Quality Alerts have been issued area-wide for tomorrow." The National Weather Service said in a post on X, Friday: "The view from our GOES East satellite at sunrise revealed widespread wildfire smoke that is resulting in large areas of unhealthy air quality, and Air Quality Alerts for at least portions of eight U.S. states. Take precautions." What Happens Next The NWS issues updates regularly on its website.

Kendrick Lamar Replaces Drake A At No. 1
It's likely that no matter how much time passes since the end of their public feud, Kendrick Lamar and Drake will always be compared to one another and seen as rivals. The rappers spent part of 2024 trading diss tracks in what turned out to be one of the most high-profile beefs in hip-hop history. Lamar came out on top, thanks largely to his tune "Not Like Us," which didn't just reach No. 1 on the Hot 100, it also earned the rapper both Record and Song of the Year at the Grammys. It's been well over a year since "Not Like Us" seemingly finished the war, but Lamar and Drake are still competing against one another directly on the Billboard charts. Kendrick Lamar Replaces Drake at No. 1 Lamar manages to replace Drake at No. 1 on several Billboard tallies in the United States this week, thanks to his recent collaboration with friend and tourmate SZA. "Luther" returns to the summit on both the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot Rap Songs rankings this frame. Last period, the collaboration sat in the runner-up spot on the two consumption-based lists, pushed down by Drake's "What Did I Miss?" The Canadian hip-hop superstar's single begins to decline this frame, making way for "Luther" — one of the most popular tunes in hip-hop of all time, according to the charts — to find its way to the summit once more. Drake's Songs Decline as "Luther" Surges On the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs tally, "What Did I Miss?" drops from No. 1 to No. 3, landing just ahead of Drake's previous smash "Nokia." On the Hot Rap Songs chart, "What Did I Miss?" only steps back one space, while "Nokia" also holds at No. 4 on that ranking. "Luther" Extends Its Historic Reign "Luther" has now ruled both the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot Rap Songs rankings for 29 weeks apiece. The tune long ago became the longest-running leader on both tallies, and with every frame it commands the tallies, it adds to its total and Lamar and SZA further their lead over every other hit in the history of those genres.
