Although many enjoyed two days of performances and noteworthy guests joining Drake during his sets, Sunday's performance left some scratching their heads. Here's how social media reacted to the final day at Wireless 2025, alongside what Drake performed - and who he performed with - during this year's festival. Wireless 2025 wrapped over the weekend in London, with Drake headlining all three days and introducing a 'who's who' of special guests throughout most of his performances. The Canadian rapper on Friday brought out the illustrious Lauryn Hill to perform three songs with him, including a cover of The Fugees 'Ready or Not,'with Bryson Tiller and Mario also joining the artist on stage during the first night.

The artist, according to reports, only played for 40 minutes with only Reema and Vybz Kartel joining him during the set. The BBC reported that the rapper 'looked agitated' compared to his demeanour the previous nights, with some speculation regarding the ardent curfew the festival had to meet on Sunday evening. Originally, Drake was meant to perform two separate sets on Sunday, according to the official Wireless 2025 timetable, however the planned first set was removed from the timetable in the afternoon ahead of his set. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad That's led some fans to express their disappointment on social media, with many upset about the brevity of his Sunday performance. What has social media reaction been to Wireless 2025? Ahead of the festival, there were concerns over a lack of communication regarding this year's event - mainly the 'last-minute' scheduling of acts and the timetables for each day being released the morning of the performances. But it would be Drake's performance on Sunday that would cause the most commotion with fans, with one in particular addressing the situation on r/WirelessFestival , stating they had come all the way from Australia to see him perform that evening. 'A big reason why I came this far was to see Drake,' they wrote, 'yet [he] comes out and does a 40 minute DJ set and isn't even the one performing half the time. How can the headliner have the shortest set of the day?' Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Another on the subreddit made comparisons between Wireless 2025 and another music festival, telling readers that: 'going from Glastonbury to Wireless within 2 weeks was a huge mistake; this was the worst festival I've ever been to' There was confusion also when the first Drake set was removed from the timetable on Sunday afternoon, with a Redditor writing: 'Drake is meant to perform at 6:25pm but cut him off and now he's playing at 8:45pm and curfew is at 9:30pm, not worth the wait we started going home' while someone commented under that post 'Vibes are kinda off too, lots of pushing and shoving, queue jumping, not like yesterday [Saturday] and Friday.' The general consensus so far though is that while Friday and Saturday were incredible days at Finsbury Park, the conclusion of the festival felt more a whimper than a bang. What did Drake perform during Wireless 2025? According to , Drake performed the following songs across all three nights at Wireless 2025.

Drake fans left furious as rapper ENDS Wireless 2025 set after just 40 mins
Disabled fans were reportedly struggling to leave the festival FESTIVAL CHAOS Drake fans left furious as rapper ENDS Wireless 2025 set after just 40 mins DRAKE left thousands of fans fuming last night after his Wireless set ended after just 40 minutes. The 38-year-old rap superstar arrived ten minutes early for his Sunday night set in London's Finsbury Park, telling the crowd he'd go 'until they cut my mic' - referencing the festival's strict 9:30pm curfew. Advertisement 3 Drake closed his set with a Whitney Houston sing-a-long on a crane on two nights out of three at Wireless Credit: Getty 3 Gutted Wireless fans spoke of chaos at the end of Sunday when his set was cut short Credit: Getty Earlier in the day, fans 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. Drake then appeared early and immediately after Burna Boy, which caught the crowds off-guard. Fans were left even more confused when his set finished after 40 minutes due to the curfew.

Several disabled fans were reportedly trapped behind barriers, pleading with security to let them out. The Sun has contacted Wireless festival for comment. Writing on Instagram after the show, Drake said he didn't know what had happened: "Thank you London. Advertisement "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." Drake was booked to headline all three nights at the festival. Watch the moment Drake 'rants about exes' live on stage after former girlfriends SZA and Serena Williams join Kendrick Lamar at Superbowl The rapper had already run into curfew chaos on Friday, when organisers cut off both his and Lauryn Hill's microphones at 10:30pm — replacing the screens with local train station info. He managed to stick to the schedule better on Saturday. Advertisement Earlier in the day on Sunday, Kartel and Burna Boy still performed in their time slots, but when Drake suddenly appeared his cheerful energy from Friday and Saturday appeared to be gone. The Canadian megastar looked tense and rushed, according to the BBC. He kicked things off with an unreleased track featuring UK rapper Central Cee, who didn't take to the stage. Instead, he was spotted silently mouthing the lyrics from the front row, with cameras beaming it onto the big screen. Advertisement Trying to win back the crowd, Drake rattled through hits like Controlla, Find Your Love, and One Dance — all updated for 2025, but the new remixes made them hard to sing along to and left many fans confused. A brief boost came when Nigerian sensation Rema jumped on stage to perform Calm Down and Fever, hyping up the crowd. But just as things were heating up, Vybz Kartel popped back in for a quick cameo and then Drake played just two more songs before wrapping it all up. Drake climbed onto a crane to wave goodbye, while Whitney Houston's I Will Always Love You blasted from the speakers. Advertisement Devastated fans realised it was his exit music, after seeing it online from the previous night.
