The huge North London Festival will take place on Friday July 11, Saturday July 12 and Sunday July 13.
Drake will headline the main stage each evening in a deal thought to be worth millions.
It follows last year’s festival which was headlined by Nicki Minaj, 21 Savage, J Hus and Doja Cat.
A source said: “It’s been months in the making and initially no one thought they could pull it off, but Drake is all signed on to headline all three days of Wireless.
“Bosses are naturally overjoyed and expect tickets to sell out in record time.
“Exact set lists are still to be worked out but one idea that has been passed about is that Drake will perform some of his albums in full for the first time.”
It comes just days after rival rapper Kendrick Lamar savaged him during the Super Bowl halftime show.
Earlier this month Drake teamed up with PartyNextDoor to release collaboration album $ome $exy $ongs 4 U.
On the 21-track album, Drake takes a swipe at his haters and “rap beef” in the industry.
On Gimme A Hug he rages: “They be dropping s*** but we dropping harder s***. F*** a rap beef, I’m tryna get the party lit.
Hidden link between Kendrick Lamar’s beef with Drake, the Super Bowl halftime show, and Duolingo’s dead owl revealed
“Tryna get the party lit for the b****es.”
Drake last toured the UK in 2019, playing seven nights at London’s O2 Arena as part of his Assassination Vacation Tour.
In 2021, Drake made a surprise appearance on night one of Wireless Festival – popping up during Future‘s set.
