Fans were seemingly elated at the rapper's achievement, with one X user comparing it to the sales of Kendrick Lamar's upcoming "Grand National Stadium Tour" with SZA.
"Didn’t Kendrick basically just sell out a stadium tour? Drake hitting the festivals now."
Several other netizens echoed this sentiment. Here are some of their reactions.
"Meanwhile Kendrick can’t even sell out his hometown show," one person claimed.
"Kendrick needed the whole beef to barely sell out his US tour," another person added.
"Over 135K tickets in a matter of minutes, crazy (fire emoji)," someone else commented.
"This is something Jay Z or Kendrick can’t do outside America," another user posted.
However, others pointed out that it wasn't just Drizzy's achievement, as the festival features multiple artists scheduled to perform.
"Also it’s a festival so people don’t come only for Drake yallldumf af," one person tweeted.
"Y’all realise wireless pretty much always sells out (laughing emoji)," another person added.
"Wireless Festival sells out every year. 2023 - They sold out in 60 minutes. 2024 - They sold out in 60 minutes. This is the biggest festival for Rap and Hip-Hop in the UK. The fans grab those tickets fast. Every year," someone else commented.
"The first pre sale started on Monday with another on Tuesday. A large amount of the tickets were purchased on those days, hence why it sold out so quickly on general release," another user wrote.
Drake reportedly set to perform different setlists each night at Wireless Festival
On February 16, the Wireless Festival announced that Drake would headline all three nights of the event to celebrate its 20th anniversary. In an Instagram post revealing the news, the festival also noted that he would perform different setlists each night, writing:
"IT’S BEEN A WHILE BUT THE BOY IS HOME For our 20th anniversary.… Drake will headline all THREE nights with three different setlists."
According to Billboard, the Wireless Festival 2025 will be Drake's first show in the UK in over six years. PartyNextDoor and Summer Walker would join him on the first night on July 11. This follows after the Canadian rapper's recent Valentine's Day album release with PartyNextDoor, titled $ome $exy $ongs 4 U.
On the second night, the rapper will be joined by The Mandem, while the final show on Sunday will feature Burna Boy and Vybz Kartel alongside the 6 God singer. The full festival lineup is expected to be revealed soon.
