How to get Drake UK tour tickets as rapper heads for Wireless residency
Drake has announced his UK and Europe tour dates, following on from his history-making three-night stop at London's Wireless Festival.
The Canadian rapper, who has five Grammys to his name, last visited the UK in 2019 but is set to bring his Anita Max Win tour here in the summer.
Here's all you need to know about where you can catch Drake in the UK and Europe, as well as why his Wireless appearance is so special.
Drake is making a landmark appearance at London's Wireless Festival as part of his UK tour leg where he will, for the first time ever at the event, headline all three nights but with three different sets.
He'll hit the Finsbury Park festival from 11-13 July to mark its 20th anniversary and will be joined by different support acts each night.

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.
Singer-songwriter and rapper PARTYNEXTDOOR is touring with Drake after releasing their collaborative album, $ome $exy $ongs 4 U.
Unfortunately for Drake fans who haven't yet snapped up Wireless tickets, most of the festival is already sold out with just the VIP Experience left.
Pre-sale tickets for the UK and Europe dates became available on Wednesday, 4 June, but if you weren't lucky enough to get into the pre-sale there are still chances available to see Drake.
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.

We moved in with a couple in their 50s when we were in our 20s. Despite the age difference, we became lifelong friends.
When we were in our 20s, my partner Sam and I decided to do a working holiday in Banff, Canada. Initially, we rented a room in a three-bedroom share house with two other couples who were close in age to us. It was loads of fun, but nobody did much cleaning, and there was a fair amount of drinking and partying. Sam got a job with the town of Banff and soon he befriended this Canadian guy named Billy. Billy is one of those larger-than-life personalities; he's high energy and extremely likeable. Everyone in town knows him, and he's affectionately known as "Billy Banff." One day, Billy mentioned that he and his wife had a room available in their cozy two-bedroom property. After chatting with me about it, Sam told Billy we'd love to take it. We lived together well I'll never forget the day we moved in. I met Billy's wife, Fern, who's a wonderfully warm, very calm, grounded person. She's the yin to Billy's yang in a lot of ways, and the pair complements each other beautifully. As we talked through the finer details of the rental arrangement, I asked her if I could have a set of keys for the property. "Oh, honey, we don't even know where they are," she said, smiling. "We never bother locking the house!" That's the kind of trusting, beautiful people Billy and Fern are. Their house is always open and full of loved ones. When they showed us our room, they'd left a bottle of Yellow Tail merlot from Australia on the dresser for us, as a nod to our home. We felt so welcome. At that point, Billy and Fern were in their 50s, while Sam and I were 29 and 26. Despite the age difference, the living arrangement worked really well. Fern and Bill were fun and young at heart, but also very caring and nurturing. We all helped out with cleaning and often shared meals together. I used to love coming home after a waitressing shift to find Fern on the veranda, relaxing and taking in nature. We'd have deep conversations about love, life, and everything in between. Sometimes, if Billy was home, we'd crank "Moves Like Jagger" by Maroon 5 and dance around the living room like kids. I also played "A Horse With No Name" by America over and over; it had been featured by our favorite TV show at the time, "Breaking Bad," and Billy and I often sang it together. It became a bit of a theme song for that chapter of my life. We moved out, but we've stayed in touch all these years When we eventually decided it was time to move on from Banff, the feeling was bittersweet. It was springtime when we left. The deer were out in full force and the sun was still shining at 9 p.m. As a final farewell, Fern made an amazing feast for us and we sat around the fire drinking wine. It really felt like home. After we left Banff, we moved to London for a year and then returned to Australia. As fate would have it, Fern and Billy's daughter Penny lives on the Gold Coast, where my family is based, so we've been lucky enough to catch up with them over the years. In 2019, we even took our kids to Canada to show them Banff, which still feels like our "happy place." On our most recent catch-up on the Gold Coast earlier this year, I was walking through a beachside park when I heard someone singing a familiar tune with a thick Canadian accent. "I've been through the desert on a horse with no name. It felt good to be out of the rain," they sang. I could not wipe the grin off my face as I turned and saw Billy standing nearby, his arms outstretched and ready for a bear hug. Whenever we get together with Fern and Billy, it's always like old times. They're more than lifelong friends. To us, they're family and always will be.

Cultural celebration brings hundreds to Earl Haig Park
Several hundred community members attended Gihekdagye-BRISC Friendship Centre's National Indigenous Peoples Day celebration at Earl Haig Family Fun Park on Saturday, June 21, 2025. The event was held in partnership with Brantford Native Housing, Woodland Cultural Centre, Métis Nation of Ontario, Niwasa Kendaaswin Teg, Child and Family Services of Grand Erie, Aboriginal Health Centre, Brantford Public Library and the City of Brantford. During the eight-hour event, families of all ages came together to beat the heat and cool down in the park's pool, lazy river or splash pad. In between jumping from one source of water to the next, many took the opportunity to grab a bite to eat, sit down for a picnic or play a round of mini golf. Out in the parking lot, several service organization booths had the chance to interact with visitors, hand out program information and free swag, or and various craft activities. While exploring the area, attendees also had the opportunity to support vendors like Tanya's Dream Catchers, have colourful tinsel woven into their hair, or run around on one of the inflatable interactive play systems. The event also featured several speeches, as well as dances, both Haudenosaunee and Anishinaabe, from First Nations dancers like Eddy Thomas and Daniel Secord of Springcreek Dancers. Michael Doxtator, a member of the board of directors for Gihekdagye-Brisc Friendship Centre and a First Nations historian, said the day marks a significant moment in history. 'Brantford is the centre of Canadian culture. It's where it all started back in the 1860s, and it needs to turn around and actually become the cultural mecca of the whole country again with creativity, arts, and theatre, all those practices, as well as building a local economy based on creative industries,' he said. 'When we talk about Brantford as being the centre of Canadian culture, that begins with what the idea of what happened here, which actually, is one of the reasons why there is a Canada today; it's because of the events like the adoption of Canada in the Longhouse in 1869, the formulation of Canada Day on June 21, 1880, which later became Governor General Roméo LeBlanc's cue to make June 21 'National Aboriginal Day' back in 1996.' Doxtator said the event was an opportunity for the community to celebrate and recognize the Indigenous people and their ways of being, especially given the city's proximity to Six Nations of the Grand River and the large urban Indigenous population within Brantford itself. 'Today is really a celebration where we get to welcome our cousins from the Canadian Rafter to come and celebrate Indigenous families,' he said. 'We have people having fun and frolicking around the grounds and watching some cultural activities taking place in the park, and we have the the service organizations out in the parking lot, with all their displays and their tables that offer information about the services that they represent, and it's just been a great turnout.'
