Earlier today (July 8th), it was announced that DJ Khaled has pulled out of his performance at the Wireless Festival in the U.K. due to “travel issues.” Fans were asking all sort of questions after seeing a video of Khaled on social media just hours before in an infinity pool on holiday in Mexico.

But Wireless had promised that they were working on something special “that won’t disappoint” to compensate for Khaled missing the event. Well, they did keep up with their promise as the even organizers brought out the one and only Drake as a surprise guest at Finsbury Park. This is Drizzy’s first appearance since 2015 when he welcomed Skepta as a surprise guest to his set and his first live performance since dropping his new album Scorpion 10 days ago.
No big deal, just @Drake popping up at #wireless
